13 memorable times we got you on camera when you spoke up about schools in Sunderland

School dinners, uniforms and meals. You certainly had plenty to say about all of it over the years.

A big thank you goes to everyone who took time to speak to the Sunderland Echo on these important topics in the past.

Take a look at 13 people who appeared in the newspaper when they shared their views on school matters in the past between 2004 and 2009.
