High school honoured with award
A high school has been recognised for its students' work within the community.
Tottington High School has been honoured with Shaw Education Trust's Community Engagement Award.
During the academic year, students have been involved in a range of community projects, including the spreading of festive cheer to staff and patients at Fairfield Hospital through the singing of Christmas carols and the delivery of presents.
Students also undertook enrichment activities with residents at Abbeywood Residential Care Home, and donated a range of items to the Porchbox Appeal.
The school played an important part in the dual ecological and historical project to redevelop Whitehead Gardens in Tottington.
Working in partnership with Tottington Civic Pride, a VE Day celebration party for residents was arranged.

"We look forward to establishing further community partnerships and continuing to support our students to become the changemakers of the future."
