A DARLINGTON school is running a holiday club during the Christmas holidays.

The festive FunZone is being organised at Polam Hall Junior School.

It will provide places for pupils aged four to twelve and their siblings.

The FunZone is being operated by Debbie Moore. It was set up earlier this year with the help of the National Lottery's Out of Hours, New Opportunities Fund.

The club runs from 8.30am until 5.30pm, with morning and afternoon sessions available.

Polam Hall Junior School headteacher Angela Foster said: "The festive FunZone has already been a huge success. The children have had a wonderful time making their own preparations for Christmas.

"The FunZone has added a new dimension to school holidays at Polam Hall and is a huge benefit particularly to our working parents.
