Girls from across Bradford and Keighley, who have failed to attend school because of a variety of problems, are rehearsing a special show for fellow pupils.

Members of Girl Power, a Bingley-based group set up to give low-achieving girls the opportunity to develop, will be singing and dancing in the production. Project co-ordinator Celia Ross said: "This will go towards building up their self-confidence."

All schools across the district are invited to watch the show on Tuesday, December 9 at Bradford's Priestley Centre.

Admission is free but donations can be given towards a children's charity. Call Bingley Voluntary Action on (01274) 781222.
