STUDENTS in Prudhoe have returned to the town's high school for the first time since it was forced to close due to safety concerns.

- JAMES ROBINSON

Cracks were discovered in Prudhoe Community High School's building in February, with pupils unable to be taught at the site.

Youngsters were initially taught online before an alternative location was secured at Sunderland College's Washington Campus on Wearside.

Despite the challenging situation - including a round trip of more than 30 miles a day - the students recently posted successful exam results for both GCSEs and A-Levels.

School leaders have issued thanks to staff, pupils and families as well as the wider education sector and Northumberland County Council for their support over the past seven months.

Headteacher Annmarie Moore said: "We have unpacked over 800 crates and set our classrooms up and ready for learning. Following what has been a very challenging year for our school community, we are so pleased to return to Prudhoe.
