Kilgarth Staff Team at House of Commons – Welcome to Kilgarth School

On Tuesday 24th June, representatives from Kilgarth attended an awards ceremony at the House Of Commons to be officially presented with their Pearson Silver awards.

These prestigious awards are given for outstanding education. This year there were 59 prizes given from over 20,000 applicants. Kilgarth School won three of these – the first time this has ever happened in the 15 years since the awards were established!
