PUPILS in years 10 and 11 at St Wilfrid's High School, Blackburn, will be working towards National Vocational Qualifications at Blackburn College thanks to a sponsorship deal with Stagecoach Ribble.

The group will study building, motor vehicle maintenance, glass processing and catering to NVQ level four as part of the School Partnership Programme and chief executive of Stagecoach Ribble, Michael Chambers, handed over £500 to help pay the fees.
