Open meeting agenda
March 3, 2015Infant & Junior Schools to merge
January 12, 2015Having considered the views of those who responded, the County Council has taken a decision to move to the next stage in the process which is to issue a statutory notice proposing to change the age range of Shotley Bridge Infant School from 4-7 to 4-11 with effect from 1 September 2015 to create a Primary School.
Linked to this is a proposal to close Shotley Bridge Junior School as a separate school with effect from 31 August 2015.
Have a look at the consultation document.

Christmas Tree lit
December 7, 2014Carols were sung and the Christmas Tree was lit early Saturday evening at the ‘Triangle’ in the village centre.
Thanks to Martin Jackson & St Cuthbert’s choir members and to Debbie Brett and Shotley Bridge Junior School pupils who led the singing. Thanks also to the Trust’s volunteers for stewarding and the PCSO’s attendance. Particular thanks to Stephen Robinson and Peter Oliver, our local County Councillors, who have funded the tree and lights again.
There was a good turnout to watch and take part in the event. Hopefully, everyone enjoyed themselves.
Blooming at The Snods
December 4, 2014Blooming Shotley Bridge will be raising funds at The Snods Christmas Fair this Saturday 6th December, 10am – 4pm.
We will have a stall of ‘New’ and ‘Nearly New’ items, many suitable for Christmas presents, and a Lucky Dip for those who just want to give a donation. Items have been donated by SBVT members and friends, so all proceeds will go to planting flowers and shrubs in Shotley Bridge conservation area.
There will also be ‘Shotley Bridge’ pin badges for sale, which will make good stocking fillers.
