THERE was a record turn-out at Pleckgate High School’s open evening as prospective students, with their parents, heard from head teacher Mark Cocker and took a look around the state-of-the-art school.
Prospective students had a look in the maths department, having a go at programming a car, and also visited the science department.
Primary school pupils also had the chance to try out the school’s gym, play table tennis in the sports hall, test their cooking skills in food technology and visit the technology and engineering department.
“We were incredibly proud of our GCSE results and were delighted with the number of prospective students and parents who came to look around Pleckgate,” said Head Teacher Mr Cocker.
“We have a strong trend of academic achievement at Pleckgate while we also encourage sports, our football team played at Ewood Park last year, and we have raised a vast amount of money for various charities over the last five years.
“Our school philosophy is ‘Aspire & Believe, Act & Succeed’ and our school is thriving.”
