Many thanks to all the students who joined us for a visit to Preston this weekend as we visit the Harris Gallery to look at the latest Costume Exhibition as part of the Preston Guild celebrations. 15 learners from across the school joined Mr. DeCourcey and staff to look at the dramatic costumes and to visit the Museum of Central Lancashire to look at theatre and entertainment artifacts of bygone years. Well done to all the leaners who took part!
