A FIELD trip by a party of Year Six pupils from Northleigh Primary School has been unaffected by the fuel crisis, said headteacher Jean Mills. She said the 42 ten and 11-year-olds were due back in Malvern today (Friday) on schedule.

"Before the coach went on Monday, we made sure it had enough fuel to get there, go around and come back," she said. The youngsters were staying at Manorbier, in Pembrokeshire.
