SCHOOL'S out for summer but Durham youngsters are still passing through the school gates each morning.

Framwellgate School held a week-long summer school in which the children produced a mosaic, put down gravel paths and landscaped the area around a stone seat in the school grounds.

Around 100 pupils from the secondary school and its feeder primary schools also took part in art, history and drama activities.

The summer school was led by eight teachers and pupils paid £10 each.

It was the second one Framwellgate School has held.

This year the scheme was expanded thanks to funding from Investing in Children, Education Extra, and an art prize that last year's summer school won for banners youngsters made.
