THE 130 pupils who were excluded from Bury CE High School will finally receive their Records of Achievement tonight.

Parental pressure forced headteacher Mr Philip Grady to reschedule the Leavers' Service which he originally cancelled.

He ordered the Year 11 children out of the school last Thursday after end-of-term pranks got out of control.

Because the culprits could not be identified, Mr Grady excluded the entire year.

And he cancelled last Friday's presentation ceremony.

But angry parents mobbed the school and demanded that the traditional event take place and the exclusions would not appear on their children's files. They also wanted a meeting with all the school governors to discuss what happened.

Mr Grady relented and the ceremony will take place at Bury Parish Church, conducted by the Rector of Bury, the Rev John Findon.
