Laptops help youngsters carry on learning
A generous donation of laptops is enabling pupils impacted by Covid-19 to carry on learning at home.
Four laptops were presented to Halton Holegate C of E Primary School by the Spilsby U3A group.
A damp playground had to serve as the special place for the presentation to headteacher Andrew Leeman for pupils to use when learning at home.
Mr Leeman said: “Some families need the devices so that their children can carry on with their education when not in school.”
Chair of Spilsby U3a, Helen Cole, said that the machines, provided by a government grant some years ago, were languishing in a cupboard. “The committee decided they should be put to better use,” she said.
Following a professional inspection, the computers were made available for the school.
