SEVEN schools in East Lancashire have become the first in the county to achieve accredited status for the National Record of Achievement scheme.
The schools had to pass a rigorous three-day visit by trained assessors who inspect documentation and talk to a wide range of people involved in the scheme.
The National Record of Achievement is designed to help people plan and manage their own learning and make the right decisions about personal career development. The scheme is open to schools, colleges, training groups and employers.
A total of 22 schools across Lancashire will be presented with their awards in Chorley next week.
They include, Calder View, Burnley; Mansfield High, Nelson; Norden High, Rishton; Primet High, Colne; Rhyddings High, Oswaldtwistle; St Christopher's High, Accrington, and Whitworth High.
