St Mary’s Catholic Primary School

Budding young artists in North Shields showcased their talents in a special art exhibition based on the work of ‘The Pitmen Painters’. The children at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Cullercoats took inspiration from the work of the Ashington Group, a small society of mine worker artists whose paintings became popular in the 1930s and 1940s.

Caring children have marked the seasonal celebration of the Harvest Festival by collecting food for distribution. The pupils at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Cullercoats, took part in the charitable venture to support The Bay Foodbank, collecting a wide range of donated items to help families in the community.
