A packed day in Prudhoe and Hexham - but the highlight was my visit to the Prudhoe Castle First School: I was shown around by 2 of the star pupils, and the Headteacher, and saw the rehearsal for the Nativity Play that the school are performing next week: this is going to be one Nativity Play that you do not want to miss - it is huge in scope, beautifully perfomed and is moving, genuine and very funny in parts. All I saw were the amazing efforts of the staff and the pupils themselves, and the supporting cast of Governors and PTA. This is an outstanding school.
