We have received excellent feedback and many positive comments from families in our local community who joined us at our "Treasure Island' themed Year 6 Open Evening event on September 30th.

Around 400 people attended the pirate-themed event this year, taking part in guided tours, a mass treasure hunt around the Academy buildings, a range of pirate-themed activities and enjoying the opportunity to meet a number of special guests including Professor John Kilcoyne from the TV Science show "Brainiac', former SAFC pro-player, Martin Gray and the Mayor of Bishop Auckland, Cllr. Lee Brownson.

Visitors praised the attitude and communication skills of the many students who volunteered to help out on the night; they were a credit to our school and we would like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and for their desire to help showcase King James.
