PARENTS were invited to go back to school.

The Valley School in Astley Bridge staged an open day with a difference during which parents could find out about different services in the community and the school as well as speaking to senior staff and governors.

Local high schools also attended to speak to parents about their child's next step.

Visitors enjoyed food and tried their luck on a fundraising tombola.

The open day was also an event to find out parents' and children's thoughts on the school through questionnaires and forum meetings.
