YOUNGSTERS at Grimley and Holt Primary School will be learning about the First World War after a £10,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The village school has been awarded the cash to fund the ‘Grimley and Holt Remembered’ project which will preserve the memories and heritage of the people who lived through the conflict.
Pupils will design some replica stained glass windows for both St Bartholomew’s Church at Grimley and the Church of St Martin, Holt.
They will also visit the battlefields of northern France and Belgium and with help from professionals, the information gathered will be digitally recorded to create an online archive.
Headteacher Dr Andy Richards, said: “We are thrilled to have received the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund and have been given the opportunity to involve the community in this learning experience.”
