CRICKLADE College's first open evening for prospective students has been a great success.

The evening gave visitors the chance to look around the college and see the range of courses and subjects on offer.

Principal Dr Tom Johnson said: "The evening was a great success with many positive comments from parents and students who took the time to come along. It is an exciting time at Cricklade with many innovative changes taking place. News of these changes must be travelling - many of the evening's visitors came from far afield, hearing of this year's record-breaking A level results."

Throughout the evening, visitors were asked to complete valuation forms which were entered into a prize draw. Matt Grigg from John Hanson School and Rowanne Willmott from Winton School both won CD vouchers.

Further open evenings are planned for 21 November and 4 February.
