THE future looks bright for Priestley College student Lydia Prescott who is celebrating after receiving an offer to attend Oxford University.
Lydia, from Callands, is set to become the first person in her family to attend university.
The 17-year-old is hoping to go on to do a degree in earth science after completing her A-levels.
Lydia, who attended Great Sankey High School, is studying A-levels in biology, chemistry, geology and maths at Priestley.
She said: “To be offered a place at Oxford studying a subject that I love is incredible. If I can continue to work in the field of earth science after I finish my degree that would be a dream come true.”
