WHAT'S IN FRIDAY'S CHRONICLE

A ROW is growing over a new "faith-sensitive" secondary school that is set to open in Chadderton on land earmarked by Oldham Council as a prime housing development site. We have the details.

Also on the schools front, we report on a remarkable 80-year-old headmistress who is finally stepping down from the primary school she has served for 40 years.

We also report on a Chadderton man jailed for taking bags of drugs into a pop festival.

Meanwhile, we have the latest on Latics' build-up to a vital game at Tranmere as they look to pull themselves out of the League One relegation zone.
