Charlotte Ferris, a Catholic pupil from Middleton in Greater Manchester, has just won two prestigious awards at St Bede’s College in the city.

The 18-year-old A-Level student won the much-coveted Father Coulthard Award for being selected as the college’s Sports Person of the Year 2010.

The college has an international reputation for sport with a number of its present and former students representing their country at sport and professionally for such clubs as Manchester United and Liverpool.
Andrew Steele, one of its former students, represented England in the last Olympics and this year Will Keane won Manchester United’s Player of the Year and the UEFA under-17 trophy for England.
