A high school welcomed 1,250 people at its most successful open evening to date.

Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School's open evening on Thursday, September 26, saw 340 families come through the doors.

Each department put on activities to engage visitors, including recording the news with Cheshire Mix56 radio station in the English department, the Maths Grand National, fire bubbles in the science labs, and popcorn popping in food technology.

The hall was at full capacity for head teacher Beverley Scott-Herron's welcome speech, and the Latchford school received positive feedback from visiting families.

"We are proud to have an excellent reputation and are very grateful for the support of the local community, who recognise the holistic care and academic excellence we aim to provide for all our young people.

"Our vision of high expectations, high aspirations and high standards is visible in everything we do, and all our students believe and know they can and will succeed.

"It's really important that no child gets left behind or becomes a statistic or number.

"All our young people need to know how valued and precious they are.

"I am very blessed with incredibly talented staff, who firmly believe in our school vision.

"I'm really proud of everybody and really grateful to our families for all their support.

"Together we are achieving what Sir Thomas Boteler set out as his goal half a millennium ago, which is to provide the highest quality education to the young people of Warrington."
