Blue Spark Foundation

BlueSpark helped provide funding for 25 children from Stanhope Barrington C of E Primary School Bishop Auckland, Durham to take part in a residential visit to London. The children spent three days and two nights away from home absorbing the culture and experience of London. They visited the London Eye, the British Museum, Madame Tussaud’s, the National Gallery and went to see “Matilda”.  The Assistant Headteacher said that “the children showed confidence in unfamiliar surroundings and resilience when faced with two nights away from home. They were able to see landmarks, first hand, that they had studied in their lessons and they returned to school with a huge sense of pride. They thoroughly enjoyed their visit but more importantly they overcame boundaries that they were worried about.”
