A BRIERFIELD high school last night celebrated the achievements of staff and students for the previous 12 months.

Staff and pupils at Marsden Heights Community School, Elland Road, Brierfield, were joined by the Mayor of Pendle, Coun Allan Buck, and Stephen Barnes, the council's chief executive, at the prize night.

Headteacher Mike Tull picked out some of the highlights of the year.

These included the school's production of My Fair Lady' and the Heights Festival.

He said: "I am pleased to stand here before you this evening to celebrate the birth and indeed the successful growth of our learning community, and our community of learners, the most important of whom are, of course, our students."
