| The
evening of Monday, December 17th
was a pleasant social occasion
for the school, attended by
present and past pupils, parents
and staff. It was quite a
historic occasion as, owing to
the reorganisation of local
government, Prescot Grammar
School ceases to be controlled by
Lancashire, and from April 1974
will come under the Metropolitan
District of Knowsley. Hence for
Chairman of the Governors, County
Alderman Mrs. S. Heyes, who
presented the prizes, it was
rather a sad occasion. However,
in her address, Mrs. Heyes
pledged her continuing interest
in the school, an interest which
she has shown so un-stintingly
since the school's inception. She
spoke of the high academic
achievement of the pupils and
hoped that this would be
maintained. In
welcoming the guests, Miss Smith
also praised the efforts of the
girls. She was pleased with the
examination results, the
willingness to work throughout
the sixth form and the award of
such good 'A' level grades. Miss
Smith also spoke of the
difficulty sometimes encountered
by leavers in choice of career.
She said that there was a
tremendous responsibility on each
individual to come to a prudent
decision by exploring
possibilities while still at
school.
Mis
Smith went on to say that the
1973 'O' level results were of
particular interest as this was
the first year in which the fifth
form had not been put into
different streams according to
ability. She was pleased to
report that the percentage of
passes this year was the highest
in the school's history.
After
the distribution of certificates
and prizes, the guests adjourned
to the dining room and the gym
for refreshments and
conversation. The evening was
undoubtedly a success.
