Well done to all the pupils involved.🏆

On Tuesday we ran our Primary Track & Field Athletics at Eastbourne Sports Complex with 13 Primary Schools taking part…

Despite the weather what a fantastic day of running, throwing and jumping we had… lots of self-belief, teamwork and passion on show from every child 🤩

Congratulations to St Augustine's Catholic Primary School and Mowden Infant and Junior Schools who were the overall Winners 🏆

Good Luck to all children who qualified to represent Darlington at the Tees Valley Finals later in the month 👏🏻

A big thank you the Young Leaders from St Aidan's Church of England Academy for supporting with the event, they braved the weather and were fantastic role models 👏🏻🤩
