9 memorable times we got Mortimer Primary pupils in the picture as the school makes headlines once more

Young cricketers, choir singers and go-kart drivers have all been pictured at Mortimer Primary School in South Shields over the years.

So have the school’s tennis players and cyclists in Shields Gazette photos from the past.

We even got the pupils on camera when they celebrated VE Day with flags and food in 2011.

Now, as the school gets the spotlight once more, we have combined all of those scenes for you to enjoy in one gallery of photos.

The school returned to the Shields Gazette headlines this week when we reported on the green space haven for pupils which had been created.

It got us thinking about some of the other times that Mortimer Primary enjoyed a moment in the limelight.
