We are pleased to announce our new defibrillator is now in service. It is located on an external wall next to the front gates of the school where it can be accessed by the local community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Many thanks to the fantastic fundraising efforts of West Park Academy staff and to West Park Levy Trust, Councillor Scott Durham, Secure Electronic Engineering Ltd, Job Ready Darlington and House Signs.Direct for their contributions and help in making this happen. You are all amazing!

Huge thanks to all for your kind donations. The final total raised was £5,523.75 of which £4,120.20 will be donated to the Great North Air Ambulance Service.

Your time, effort and generosity is very much appreciated.
