BRINKWORTH Earl Danby's Primary School has been connected to broadband, becoming the final link in Wiltshire County Council's scheme to give every pupil in the county access to the technology.

The link up completed a six-year project to connect all 247 schools to the Internet through the South West Grid for Learning.

Headteacher Laura Brierley said: "Our children are delighted to be able to use broadband technology.

"The school's computers have recently been upgraded and all classrooms will have interactive whiteboards installed by September.

"Teachers are developing their knowledge of the resources available and enjoy using exciting and engaging teaching materials."

County council cabinet member for education Nancy Bryant said: "This is a real achievement.

"Giving our schools safe access to broadband technology is a real benefit for both pupils and teachers."
