Here you will find news items related to Harton school, mainly as links to external sites (indicated by ). They are in date order, but those added recently are in the LATEST section, although the details don't get updated as often as I'd like!

indicates an external site - therefore I have no control over the content - and occasionally they can be rather slow (notably the Shields Gazette site) so you may need to be patient!
