SCHOOL pupils took a comical look at Christmas last night when they performed a festive concert.

Youngsters from Hurworth Comprehensive School, near Darlington, staged a budget Nativity, illustrating how to do Christmas on the cheap, as part of their seasonal celebrations.

About 100 pupils took part, with entertainment provided by the school choir, a woodwind group and string quartet.

The audience was also treated to diverse music, including rap and a foreign carol.
