PUPILS from a Chester-le-Street primary school have proved they have got the white stuff after winning a national milk-sponsored school poster competition.

St Cuthbert's Primary School won £500 prize money for educational equipment with their poster in the ACC Milk's Mr Men and Little Miss Funds for Schools campaign.

The liquid milk division of the Co-operative group runs the campaign in association with the Children with Leukaemia charity.

The pupils beat schools throughout the country to win a share of £1,500 prize money
