A SCHOOL which has become a leading light for the cyber age is to reveal the secrets of its success today.
Murphy Crescent School, for children with severe learning disabilities, was honoured at a ceremony in London for their use of computer technology by the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency.
Helen Crawford, acting deputy headteacher of the Bishop Auckland school, received the award from Lord David Puttnam, after impressing the judges with her imaginative and novel approach to technology.
The school which was destroyed in a fire three years ago, will open its doors to the public today, to show off its interactive room, which provides a safe and imaginative haven for the children. People can also view the multi-sensory displays or have photographs taken with digital cameras.
The school, which is in the grounds of Bishop Barrington School, Woodhouse Lane, Bishop Auckland, will be open from 10am to 2pm.
