Ann Widdecombe to award prizes at Jesuit college

The Rt Hon Ann Widdecombe MP will be the guest of honour at Stonyhurst College this weekend, when she will give prizes and awards to Upper Sixth form pupils who are about to leave.

Although she has visited the Lancashire college before in a private capacity, this will be the first official visit to Stonyhurst College by the MP who is known for her forthright views and lively opinions.

After the prize giving at the Great Academies, Miss Widdecombe will take to the podium to speak to an audience of pupils, staff and parents.

'It's a privilege to have Ann Widdecombe taking an active part in the prize giving,' said Andrew Johnson, Headmaster at Stonyhurst. 'The Great Academies is an important part of the school calendar and the last big event the Upper Sixth form pupils attend before leaving Stonyhurst.'

The prizes and awards are presented to pupils who have excelled in academic subjects throughout the year.
