YOUNG people often get a bad press, so here is a positive story about two bright boys.

Daniel Greenhalgh and Alexander Parkinson are pupils at Withins School which, as everyone knows, has turned its fortunes around.

As their classmates enjoy the long summer holidays, these young men are preparing to attend summer schools for gifted and talented youth.

They have been identified as gifted and talented pupils in all subjects. We congratulate them and hope the summer schools will help stimulate them intellectually and socially and spur them on to even greater things.
