Rising star actor Tom Hughes returned to his old high school last week for an awards evening.

Upton-by-Chester High School held its annual awards ceremony on Tuesday, July 14, to celebrate their students’ achievements throughout the year.

Former pupil Tom , now a television and film actor recently seen starring in BBC2’s spy thriller The Game and modelling for Burberry, was joined by Andrew Higginson, who has had a distinguished career at the forefront of UK retailing and is the current chairman of Morrisons.

A school spokesperson said: “It was a special night for all who attended and guests were also treated to some wonderful musical performances by students.”
