INKBERROW First School has been awarded almost £5,000 to develop links with African schools.

The Main Road school was selected to receive the first part of a three-year Global Curriculum Project Grant for its work with the Goodnews and Kansenshi Basic schools in Ndola in Zambia.

Pupils have been exchanging letters and schoolwork through the Pershore-Ndola Community Partnership.

The grant will enable teachers to visit the schools and work with partners to develop classroom resources.
