THE Red Lodge School is celebrating after students were given special awards for music and art.
The hand chime team at the Southampton school, which caters for 121 special needs pupils aged from 11 to 16, helped the school earn a Musicmark award.
The artistic flair of pupils was also recognised, with a prestigious Artsmark award from The Arts Council.
Susan Mackie, the head teacher at the school, in Vermont Close, Southamp-ton, is delighted with the accolade, which recognises the efforts of the pupils.
Felicity Harvest, executive director of Arts Council England, South East, said: "The Artsmark awards represent a tremendous achievement by schools across the regions."
