National music award for school's efforts
The Telford senior school which caught the eye of superstar Sir Elton John has won a national award.
Telford Priory School, in Wrockwardine Wood, is celebrating after winning the music category of the Education Business Awards.
The initiative was set in recognition of the outstanding work, commitment and achievements of schools and academies across the country.
