Little learners have Platform to learn

Worcester Editorial 17th Feb, 2021   0

LITTLE learners at 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 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.

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.




Paul Edwards, Community Officer at Platform Housing Group said : “Giving back to our communities is a vital part of the work we do and we are absolutely delighted to be able to provide funds to help make a positive difference.”
