STAFF and pupils at Longbarn Primary School have used their initiative and created their own high tech computer suite - at no added cost.

With a little bit of imagination, the school on Fallowfield Grove, Padgate, adapted a former committee room into a fully functional IT suite, relocating computers from each classroom into the room.

And the results are already a storming success. IT teacher Lara Brown, said: "Having our own IT room has really made a difference to lessons, now we can actually bring a whole class in here and they can work together, instead of one at a time in different classrooms.

"It's a real step in the right direction and a fantastic move for the school, a great improvement."
