WOMEN'S rights were on the timetable at a Whalley school as pupils celebrated the 100th anniversary of the suffragette movement.

GCSE students at Oakhill College were treated to a performance from the Mikron Theatre Company about the Women's Social and Political Union, which had humble beginnings in the textile mills of the North West.

The play, A Woman's Place, was part of a project to help students in years nine and 11 learn about the epic struggle of suffragettes in the early 20th century.

The school hall was decorated with suffragette slogans, and flags in the colours of the movement, green, purple and white.
