Our Friday Five round-up this week starts with the amazing place that is Newcomen Primary School in Redcar.
Recently named among the top 250 state primaries in the country by the Sunday Times, headteacher Kinga Pusztai shared some of the school’s secrets last week during a tour.
She said: “It is the remarkable children that make this school such an extraordinary place. We provide every child with the highest standard of education because they deserve the very best and every opportunity to flourish in life.”
