Another fantastic year of School Sport was celebrated last week at Greenfield School. Having finished TOP of the 2011-12 Sedgefield School Sport medal table for the 3rd consecutive year, the school and their students had a lot to celebrate. It was also great to see two Primary schools from Newton Aycliffe placed in the top 3, out of over 30 Primary schools in Sedgefield. Well done.
