TANFIELD SCHOOL THANKS YOU!
Having a thriving, well-stocked school library, full of the books that children really want to read,
is key to inspiring and engaging our pupils and we would like to thank our community for making this a reality.
These are the books you bought and here are the "reading ambassadors" of Tanfield School posing with them.
For inclusion in Elizabeth's book "Tanfield School 1912-2022 - Then and Now", many people responded with their stories of "Life After Tanfield".
Here is a new way of searching and viewing the many photos we have on our website. 
These fascinating stories are now available online at: Life After Tanfield Stories
If you would like to add your story or have it removed from our website, contact Elizabeth by email at:

A selection of old exam papers can be downloaded (you will have to mark your own answers!) in addition to memorabilia such as Speech Day programmes.
Some photos have been "Name-Tagged" and I would appreciate help in identifying unknown faces or correcting errors.
