Robbie Williams is to honour youngsters who attend his old school.

Special awards will be given to pupils who overcome hurdles to succeed in life.

Winners will be given signed certificates and handwritten messages from Williams, reports The Sun.

The 34-year-old remains linked with St. Margaret Ward Catholic School and Arts College, in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.

His mum said that youngsters who cope with disabilities or have overcome difficulties would be awarded.

Friends of the star revealed he has been shunning LA's nightlife in recent months to spend more time at home with girlfriend Ayda Field.
