About Us

Hello, we are the DCC Kids Team, we're here to help you find your way around this site and to tell you what you can find in the pages.

First of all, let us tell you who we are... Our names are Chester and Brandy. We live in County Durham, in the North East of England, so these are our local web pages! We have a pet Parrot. His name is Bishop and he likes making lots of noise and eating peanuts. See if you can spot Bishop as you move around our site, he appears in the funniest places and knows lots of interesting facts that he wants to share with you!

About this website

This website is made up of several main sections, you can get to these by clicking on the icons at the top of each page. Some sections have a 'menu' of pages you can visit. For example, in the games section you can choose from a number of things to play, such as the general knowledge quiz or our fallen faces game.

Our jokes page changes each time you visit, so make sure you call back to read future funnies!

About Durham County Council

This website has been developed by Durham County Council. The Council is an organisation that is made up of many people. It's their job to help residents of the county to have a nice place to live, work and raise a family. Some of the people who work for Durham County Council have helped us to put this site together. You can find out more about Durham County Council or visit the Council's main website at www.durham.gov.uk for further information.

Did You Know... In Medieval times the 'Prince Bishops' of Durham had the same powers as the King. They wrote laws, gathered taxes, and made their own coins.
