LOGGING onto the computer age is a whole lot easier for children at a first school near Bromsgrove thanks to some older friends.

The nine-year-old pupils at Tardebigge First School are getting help from sixth formers at South Bromsgrove High who are running an after-school computer club.

Each of the four students has three club members to work with after normal lessons end on Monday afternoons and it all helps towards their A-level course.

"The children have the opportunity to develop their skills further and get more experience in computing," said headteacher Susan Helps.

"And it helps the sixth formers with their studies so it's a real success."
