A MANAGEMENT team from Rolls Royce took their engineering expertise into the classroom last week as part of a project to promote links between industry and the world of education.

The team visited Alcester Infant School on Thursday afternoon to share their skills and to help teach part of the school's science and technology curriculum.

The challenge the managers had to meet was investigating how to make a home using hinges.

The team also visited Salford Priors Primary School, Dunnington School and Temple Grafton Primary School.

As part of their management training course, the newly appointed Rolls Royce managers had to find the best way to meet the demands of the curriculum as well as ensuring that a good "service" was delivered.

The organisers of the scheme are the Warwickshire Education Business Partnership.
