Proud Moment for Browney Academy & Our Community!

We’re incredibly proud to share the fantastic banner created by the talented pupils at Browney Academy – a true celebration of creativity, heritage, and community spirit.

Brandon and Byshottles Parish Council helped fund the banner so the children were able to bring their ideas to life and it doesn’t stop there!

The banner will be proudly carried at this year’s Miners’ Gala, representing both the school and our wider community. What a wonderful way to honour tradition and showcase the next generation’s pride in where they come from!

Huge congratulations to everyone involved. We can’t wait to see it on display!

 

The James Etherington Award (pdf)

The Schools’ Art Competition has been organised by the Parish Council since 1989.

This year the standard of the work was very high with the children producing some amazing artwork following the theme of ‘Mining Heritage – The Mining strikes which took place 40 years ago’.  1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners were presented with book tokens for £15, £10 and £5 by the local ward members who had the enjoyable but difficult task of judging the paintings.

The 1^st prize winners’ pictures were judged by Chairman of Durham Miners’ Association, Stephen Guy,

The overall winners received a trophy from the Chairman of the Parish Council, Councillor Frank Bonner at the Parish meeting in July.

The winners were as follows:

Nursery Category
