PUPILS, staff and parents at Bury Grammar Girls School reflected on a year of triumphs and memories at their annual prizegiving ceremony.

The girls were rewarded for their numerous achievements both in and out of the classroom with former pupil Bridget McIntyre, now UK director of Sun Alliance, returning to hand out the prizes to the school's highest achievers.

Headteacher Bobby Georghiou praised the girls at the ceremony, held at the Bridgewater Hall, noting their success in music, sport and charity work, which has raised more than £10,000. The school, in Bridge Road, has also celebrated 100 years in partnership with the nearby boys' school.

Mrs Georghiou said: "There cannot be many friendships which last for a hundred years and remain as strong as ever but such is the case in the two Bury Grammar Schools.

"Our students' examination results are formidable achievements and yet they are only part of the story for tomorrow's successful women. To all our leavers now and in the future I say "swans do everything". Go on girls - fly the nest and take on the world."
