Religious students aim high in studies

Oct 5 2009 by Joanne Douglas, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

YOUNG people from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are up with the larks to attend their own religious education programme.

People aged 14-18 are taking part in early morning classes to cover subjects, including the Old and New Testaments.

A Meltham class has 16 students who attend between 7am to 8am before going to school or college. This year three students from Honley and Holmfirth High Schools – Joshua Quesne, Amy Beaumont and Nathan Salcombe – graduated after completing four years of seminary.
