PUPILS from a primary and secondary school in Bishop Auckland joined forces to create a Shakespeare-themed flash mob.

With the help of the Royal Shakespeare Company, year seven students from King James I Academy and staff and pupils from Crook Primary School teamed up to learn about the William Shakespeare.

The aim of the project was to promote the enjoyment of the plays, to bring Shakespeare to a wider audience, and to see students and staff from different schools work together and be mentors to each other.
