The Courier has always been more than happy to shout loudly and proudly about the amazing achievements of Calderdale’s schools and young people.

From fantastic fundraising and prestigious awards to interesting visitors and brilliant shows, we love hearing about them and sharing them with the rest of the borough and beyond.

Here, we take a step back in time to 2008 and 2009 and share some photos from our archives of youngsters making their mark.

If your school has an achievement or event for us to cover, please email [email protected] .
