A TOP judge was so inspired at the Chilton Trinity awards evening that he came back just months later to congratulate student leavers on their GCSEs and achievements.

Bristol and Taunton Crown Court Judge David Ticehurst was guest speaker in July at one of Chilton's four heads of houses awards evenings.

He was received so well that he was back this week to present students with official GCSE exam certificates.

In front of parents, grandparents and carers, the students were presented with individual awards to be given out for a range of achieving including sporting contributions, academic progress and, service to the community.

It was the last time the students assembled together as a year group - but the school wants them all to keep in touch through their lifetime.

Headteacher Lesley Greenway said: "It was a wonderful evening of celebration. We wish all our students a very successful life and career, and we want them all to keep in touch."
