A HIGH school has been re-accredited with an award it first received back in 1998.

Ellesmere Port Specialist School of Performing Arts (EPSSPA) has once again been presented with the Investors in People (IIP) standard.

The award is given to establishments which invest time and effort in improving their business through their employees.

EPSSPA’s re-accreditation is testament to the dedication of its staff and their own professional development.

Headteacher Chris Needham said “This is the third time we have won this award and we are very proud to add it to the list of awards we have recently been granted.”
