Hurworth Comprehensive School is hoping to enlist the help of chocoholics to boost its bid for special school status when it hosts a Thorntons' chocolate evening tomorrow.
The event has been organised by the school's parent teacher association as part of its pledge to raise £5,000 towards Hurworth's bid to achieve specialist status in maths and computing.
If the school can reach £50,000 by the summer it hopes to unlock £500,000 in extra Government funding.
Admission to the evening, which begins at 7.30pm, costs £3 for adults and £1.50 for children.
