Today (24th March 2009) HRH The Duke of Gloucester opened the new Sixth Form College at Ashton-on-Mersey High School. The school has worked hard to see this day and pupils attending the college will benefit from some quite fabulous state of the art facilities.

I was invited to and attended the official opening since a lot of young people attending the college live in my ward. I wish the students, teaching staff and governors every success as they start to teach and learn new skills in conducive surroundings.
