A Kenton school has been shortlisted for a national award.

St Gregory’s Catholic Science College, in Donnington Road, has been recognised by the Times Educational Supplement for the 2016 Secondary School of the Year award.

The awards, which are now in their eighth year, celebrate the vision, commitment and outstanding contribution to education in the classroom and the wider community.

Andy Prindiville, head teacher, said: "This is wonderful accolade for St Gregory’s as we were only one of eight schools to have been shortlisted, and is the result of the hard work and dedication of the staff and pupils of the school."

In announcing the shortlist, Times Educational Supplement editor Ann Mroz said this year’s entries were the strongest yet, which reflected the dedication and inspiring teaching and leadership in UK schools.

The winner will be revealed at a ceremony in the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London, on Friday, June 24.
