PARENTS were given the opportu­ nity to find out why their A-level off­ spring at Clitheroe Royal Grammar


School have been sweating in recent months.


The work over which the 29 A-level art students have been toiling went


on display in an exhibition at the Sixth Form Centre in York Street. Family and friends visited the


exhibition which was the culmination of their course work. The more serious inspection comes later when a moderator from the


examination board will visit the exhi­ bition. The results will be anounced in August.
