A SCHOOL has thanked a local supermarket for helping to make its Easter fair a success.

Staff at Ferryhill Station Primary School were overwhelmed by the generosity of the Asda store in Spennymoor.

Headteacher Val Jago said: "They asked us if we wanted any groceries and we gratefully accepted. They gave us so much that we were able to make a little stall and we made £100 out of it.

"We also made up three big hampers for a raffle and we also had enough to make up another 30 small hampers."

The event raised £500 for school funds.
