STAFF and students are celebrating after their school was recognised for its use of technology.

RGS The Grange, in Worcester, has for the second year been named a Computing at School (CAS) Lead School.

There are only 509 Lead Schools across England and this status allow RGS to support other schools in the area.

CAS master teacher Matt Warne, head of computing and IT, set up the school's CAS Hub at last year.

More than 30 teachers from schools around the area attend termly meetings there.

Gareth Hughes, headmaster, said: "I am delighted that the school has been recognised in this way.

"Under Mr Warne’s guidance, Worcestershire schools are able to come together to share best practice in the evolving world of computing.

"Everyone in the community gains from this initiative, not least young children in our care."

RGS uses cutting-edge technology alongside traditional teaching methods, and says it is committed to quality computer science teaching and supporting other schools.
