P U P IL S , p a s t and p r e s en t , gathered a t St Augustine’s RC High School, Billington, to col­ lect their hard-earned awards, certificates and prizes. , During‘:the annual prize-giving


ceremo’ny, headteacher Mr Antho­ ny McNamara, expressed his delight at the school becoming a dual specialism college. 'He said: “From the start of this


term, we became one of the few schools in the country with a dual specialism in science and languages. ‘.‘These developments will have immense benefits for our learners and for our local community.” He went on to speak about the


excellent GCSE results achieved by high-flying pupils. “ The past year has been a very good one for St Augustine’s. “This summer we achieved


another set of excellent GCSE results, with over 74% of our pupils achieving five or more A'^‘;to C:: grades at GCSE.“Sixty-one per cent of the Year 11 cohort achieved five or more top grades including maths and English. In so doing

they beat the targets which the local authority had set for us and are a testimony to the commitment and effort of our learners and their teachers.” He added: “There is, fortunately,


more to school than exams. Along­ side their academic studies, our young people have thrown them­ selves into a wide range of extra­ curricular, sporting .and charitable activities. “Thanks to the commitment and


enthusiasm of their teachers, over the past year our pupils have enjoyed school trips to places as diverse as Italy, Scotland, Madrid, Paris and London. Today, a large group of staff and pupils set off on our most ambitious school trip to date - a tour of Japanese cities. Our pupils have excelled in a range of sports.” The guest speaker for the evening


was'ex-deputy headteacher Mr Robert Aston, who retired from the school in Christmas last year after . 19 years of outstanding service. He was welcomed by all.


■ Prior to the presentation of the awards, Mr McNamara thanked the governors, in particular chair of


■governors, Fr Edmund Willoughby. ■ He also thanked all the teaching.
