STAFF and students at Great Sankey High School have been celebrating after receiving proof they have been hitting the right notes over the past 12 months.

The music department was ranked ninth for 'Value added' in the country by Oxford Analytics.

Alan Davies, executive head teacher, said: "Music is very strong in the school and we are immensely proud of our students and staff who not only entertain and amaze us with standard of their work in school but are also competing at this level on a national stage."
