Beech House School has won the 'School of the Year' award at the Independent Schools Association annual conference at Coombe Abbey, Warwickshire.
Headmaster Kevin Sartain was surprised and delighted when guest host TV Presenter Juliet Morris announced that Beech House was the winner.
Mr Sartain received the trophy from Lord Lexden (OBE), the Independent Schools Association President. He said: "Although Beech House has been in existence since before 1850 it has always been a small school, and as such it is especially pleasing to beat the 'big boys' to the prize."
Mr Sartain has been Head of the school since 1996, and during that time has seen the school's stature rise on a local and national level.
It is the first time that a school in the North West has won such a prestigious accolade.
