Celebration of achievements

Harrogate’s Ashville College has honoured the academic and sporting successes of its pupils at its annual Speech Day.

Held at the town’s Convention Centre, speeches were delivered by Headmaster Richard Marshall, Chair of Governors Jamie Search, outgoing head prefects, Henry Mountford and Elsie Johnston, and Imagined Things Bookshop owner, Georgia Duffy – who was Chief Guest.

It was her Tweet - saying that on one Saturday she had taken just £12.34 all day – which inspired the school to buy all of its reading material from the independent bookstore, present prize winners with book vouchers for her shop, as well as launching an Ashville loyalty card to encourage parents, staff, pupils and alumni to support local, independent traders in the town.

The service was a part of a larger “Celebration Weekend” event, which included a gala, summer concert and the annual teachers’ vs pupils’ cricket and netball matches.
