SCHOOLS FORM GROUNDBREAKING FEDERATION

Altrincham Grammar School for Girls and Stretford Grammar School are forming what is believed to be the country's first grammar school Federation. It will see both Headteachers, staff and pupils collaborating more closely across all school areas. By sharing specific expertise and skills, pupils will be given greater opportunities to develop and excel.

FLIXTON GIRLS MEET PRINCE AT PALACE

On 28 February the Headteacher and two students from Flixton Girl's High School were invited to Buckingham Palace to speak to Prince Andrew and patrons of the Outward Bound Trust. The School has secured sponsorship from the Outward Bound Trust to enable every girl in years 7 to 10 to do one week of Outward Bound activities each year. In addition to this each girl will register forthe Duke of Edinburgh Award.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON ALTRINCHAM GENERAL'S FUTURE

Local people are being invited to attend a joint meeting of Altrincham North and South Neighbourhood Forums this evening (Tuesday 25 March) at Altrincham Town Hall. The meeting has been organised to give local people an important opportunity to find out about the future of services at Altrincham General Hospital and plans for development of the site. After the open forum (6-7 pm), the discussion will turn to the hospital's future, the redevelopment of the site and proposed changes to services and the future plans for this local hospital. There will be NHS Trust staff available to share information, answer any questions people have and take back with them the views and feelings of those attending.
