Ribbon Academy, Murton
Ribbon School is a primary academy located on Barnes Road in Murton, County Durham. The school has about 570 pupils aged 3 to 11.[1] The school building was officially opened on the 22nd of June 2007 by county councillor John Maddison. The 'Ribbon' complex was designed to be environmentally friendly, and brought together primary school, foundation stage unit and children’s centre.[2] At that time the school was called Murton Community Primary School, which, in 2006, replaced Jubilee Primary School (on Barnes Road), Murton County Primary School (opened 1910, on Watt Street) and Murton Sea View Nursery (on Glebe View). In September 2012 the school converted to an academy and was renamed as Ribbon School.
[In Murton] Colliery Schools were erected and are supported by the colliery company, and have been considerably enlarged from time to time. They contain departments for boys, girls, and infants, with accommodation for about 1300 scholars, with an average attendance of 1166.
