Much to celebrate at Shaw House

THE PAST and the future were celebrated at Shaw House School's open evening (pictured above) for prospective parents recently.
The school recognised the achievements of former pupils with a prize giving ceremony. Newbury's MP Mr David Rendel congratulated Courtney Lane for gaining one of the best GCSE results in the country, nine A* grades, two A grades, a B in A/AS Maths and the Diploma of Vocational Education.
Leader of Berkshire County Council and the school's new chairman of governors, Mr Bob Mowatt, then promised to march the school into the new millennium in a progressive and positive manner.
Plans for the school's future, including a bid for technology status, the modernisation of the science laboratories and a move towards a sixth form, were unveiled by headmaster Mr Mike Macleod.
