S&DR 200 Years
On 27th September 2025 the Stockton and Darlington Railway will be 200 years old. The very first steam locomotive, Locomotion No 1, departed from Shildon pulling a mix of coal wagons and passengers.
As a school in a "village on the line" we will be learning about this event and the railway in school and also taking part in a number of initiatives and events which will be taking place to celebrate this significant anniversary.
Further details will follow but we will be holding a summer fair on Saturday 14th June 2025 to kick off a week of celebrations in the village.
We will be holding a number of after school clubs over the next few months to engage the children in this topic. This term we have "History Club" and the "200 Club."
