DEDICATED staff at Green Hall School, Atherton, have won the Investors in People Award.

They received the award from Martin Lees, executive sales manager for Vimto, who are sponsoring the school which caters for 120 pupils, aged four to 16, with moderate learning difficulties.

Staff co-ordinator, deputy head Janet Bullough (pictured with pupils), said: "This has been achieved after many years of hard work and commitment. The staff have always placed training and development high on their list of priorities.

"At Green Hall we believe that a well trained and motivated team will lead to raising the educational standards of our pupils. The award is justified recognition for a team of hard working professionals."

Vimto and the Variety Club are backing the school by purchasing a new minibus which will be used for school sports and educational visits. 3108/25/4
