A HEADTEACHER will visit 10 Downing Street tomorrow.
Ian Mowbray, headteacher of Peterlee's Shotton Hall School, in East Durham, will be accompanied by Ellen Foxton, head of the school's faculty of community development, and four students.
In April Patrick Diamond of the Prime Minister's policy directorate visited Shotton Hall School after hearing it featured on the Radio 4 programme Changing Places.
While in the school he met students, staff and people from the local community.
It was as a result of his stay at the school that Mr Mowbray and his party have been invited to Number 10.
Mr Mowbray said: "We are delighted to be going to Downing Street. It should be a really interesting day for all of us and to make it even more special, we have arranged, via John Cummings MP, a tour of the Houses of Parliament, a ride on the London Eye and a visit to the national headquarters of the Community Action Network (Can).
"It is our involvement with Can as a Pathfinder Can Academy that really led to this visit in the first place.''
