"Stanley’s Football Wish" Poem - South Stanley Junior School
This poem was created by Jamie, Carter and Lewis, Year 6 pupils from South Stanley Junior School as part of our 'Celebrating Stanley' project. The pupils were inspired by the historic FA Cup match where West Stanley FC faced Tottenham Hotspur before a crowd of 35,000, capturing the towns pride, excitement and hope. Though Stanley didn't win, the moment lives on, ending with a modern wish for the town to have a football stadium that reflects its deep love of the game.

Consett Youth Banner
We are incredibly proud of our new Consett Heritage Project banner celebrating Consett Youth. The slogan the young people created is perfect- 'From the red dust of the past, Consett youth forge a brighter future'. Our plan is to use the banner as a force for good and encourage young people to take the initiative and work together for a better future.
