TALENTED children are being sought by Worcestershire County Council to enlist in a special summer school.

The top five percent of achievers in the county, aged nine to 14, are being offered the chance to further their studies in a nationally recognised academy.

Headteachers from county schools, including the Vale of Evesham and Broadway, are being invited to a day-long launch next Tuesday (May 7) to gather information on the selection process. They will then be asked to nominate pupils for the scheme.
