GIFT: Year 2 pupils, Rio and Jacob from Hollymount School in Worcester, with one of the donated laptops TWO Worcester schools are celebrating after receiving a grant to purchase laptops. Carnforth School in Warndon and Hollymount School in Tolladine have been awarded a total grant of £10,500 from Platform Housing Group; the money has been used to purchase 33 laptops. The schools successfully applied for the grant through the social landlord’s Platform Community Chest, with a customer panel approving the application. Platform customers, charities, clubs and other not-for-profit organisations can apply for funding to bring about positive changes for Platform communities. The laptops – which are helping to support children accessing remote learning during the pandemic – are currently on loan to families, will return to school when children are back and continue to have a positive impact on the education of pupils.
