TEACHING at a Redditch school has been praised by Aberystwyth University after it awarded a £1,000 unconditional scholarship to a talented pupil.

Adam Phillips, from Arrow Vale High School, Green Sward Lane, Matchborough West, sat two entrance exams in January and will be going on to study marine and freshwater biology at the Welsh university.

The university published Adam's name and school along with other scholarship winners in the national press last week.
