IT’S all change at a village primary school, with a new headteacher, after-school clubs and overseas links.
Bearpark Primary School, in Bearpark, near Durham City, is extending its extra-curricular activities, with clubs for high five netball, guitar, art and homework.
The school’s involvement with the Comenius Project is also being extended, with pupils set to visit Brussels and Catalonia later this year.
It makes for a busy introduction for Jill Hodgson, who took over as headteacher as the 78-pupil primary after Christmas.
The former Woodhouse Community Primary School deputy headteacher said: “I’m really looking forward to the challenges we’ve got ahead as we build on the strengths of the school.
“I’m enthusiastic about the future of the school.”
