A pupil from Teesside High School in Eaglescliffe gave good chase at the Great North Junior Run last week.  Henry Johnson, age 13 from Newton Aycliffe, stormed around the 4k course in just 13 minutes and 41 seconds, just 13 seconds behind the winner.

Fellow Teesside High School pupil Eleanor Young, also age 13, also took part in the race, finishing in a respectable time of 22 minutes and 22 seconds.  Henry, who runs with Chester Le Street Athletics Club, was third in the 13 to 14 year old boys category, and eighth place overall, which confirmed that Henry had ran faster than those competing in the 15 to 16 year old category.

The fashion design work of Teesside High School students has been specially selected to form part of a prestigious exhibition at the Royal Ballet, Covent Garden in October.

The exhibition has been organised as part of the 50^th anniversary celebrations of The Society of Headmasters & Headmistresses of Independent Schools (SHMIS), aiming to show excellence, quality and diversity in fashion design.

Teesside High School is the only school in the north east exhibiting fashion designs and just nine schools have been selected nationwide. The work is from GCSE, AS and A Level Product Design Textiles students.

Sue Jackson, Head of Design and Technology at Teesside High School, said: “We are honoured to be the only school in the north east chosen to exhibit our work.
