These are two English goats, a rare-breed, native goat that we are involved in supporting their conservation. It's great to see important conservation work like this going so well at Eccles!

Students from Eccles Sixth Form College proudly represented the college at a regional darts competition in Ellesmere Port earlier this month. The standard of competition was extremely high, and all learners experienced success and developed more as the day went on.

Two teams were entered, both finishing in very respectable positions - (2nd and 3rd in their groups). Unfortunately, both teams were narrowly knocked out of the playoffs on tiebreakers, highlighting just how competitive the event was.

As the first tournament of its kind, the experience was a positive and valuable one for all involved!

Well done to the students for their participation and getting so far in the competition!
