A North Shields headmaster has spoken of the long lasting legacy an ex-student turned superstar has left on his school, due to his hard work and dedication in the classroom.
Singer-songwriter Sam Fender attended the Sixth Form of Whitley Bay High School as a teenager, where his love for music began to shine through - often being caught in the music department despite not studying the subject academically.
Now, almost ten years on, the headmaster of the school has revealed how Sam has left a long-standing legacy with his old college - and how he has indirectly given back to students who wish to follow the same successes in life.
