A PRIMARY school has held an X-Factor style talent show - but thankfully there was no Simon Cowell in sight.

Hurworth Primary School, near Darlington, staged The H Factor in the school hall, with parents and pupils voting for the best performances.

The event was a social evening for parents and children and was organised by the Friends of Hurworth School society.

Headteacher Mark Allison said: "The children were singing, dancing, story telling and acting and they were voted for by parents and pupils."
