Let's raise a toast to Seaburn Dene Primary after its great Ofsted results.

The school in the Sunderland Echo spotlight has fantastic children and staff.

And it's a school which has given us some great scenes over the years, as these Echo archive photos show.

Join us for a journey into the past where we'll find a masked ball, a Bradley Wiggins day and a sponsored toddle.
