Duchess helps fly the flag at Northumberland school
The Duchess of Northumberland visited a Cramlington school to raise a new flag.
She attended Eastlea Primary School where she was given a tour of the school by two Year 6 pupils who had previously met her at the LOVE Northumberland Awards.
Headteacher Emma Beeston, said: “We were over the moon when the Duchess agreed to come to Eastlea and have a look around the school.

“Our new flag helps people know exactly where we are and now the Eastlea owl is proudly flying for all to see!”
Pupils chose several design options for the flag and voted for their favourite proposal in a mock election.
The school was recently judged ‘good’ in all four key areas by Ofsted.
