Children at Looe Primary Academy celebrated the launch of new maths and spelling programmes with Mayor Armand Toms and Geraldine Oliver, chair of West Looe Town Trust, whose donation has funded subscriptions to the online schemes.

Use of the online programmes Mathletics and Spellodrome was launched as part of the school’s Spring Fair.

A school spokesman said: ‘It’s so great to see the children obviously enjoying using Mathletics and Spellodrome. We are very grateful to West Looe Town Trust for their donation, which made it possible, and we are confident that it will have a big impact on the children’s learning.’
