June 2016

Our students will be helping to shape the future of Bishop Auckland.

Our Head Boys, Head Girls, and Prefect Team, have been working alongside Bishop Auckland Town Planning Team to help identify ways to improve our town.

Students were visited by the Town Planning Team and questioned on their views, before offering their ideas about environmental issues, social opportunities, housing, entertainment and aesthetic presentation in Bishop Auckland.

A selected team of students will now take part in a "Mad, Glad and Sad' activity in which they will take photographs of different aspects of the town which make them either "mad, glad or sad'. They will then give a presentation of their findings to the Town Planning Team at their next meeting.

This is an exciting project which gives our students the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the development priorities of their town and to help shape the future for theirs, and future generations.
