PRIMARY pupils went on a high tech shopping trip and filled their trolleys with thousands of pounds worth of computer equipment at the Tesco store in Atherton.
Representatives from five primary schools were invited to receive their new equipment from MP Andy Burnham. Schools collected vouchers and received £8,689 worth of of computer equipment, including PCs, printers, digital cameras and DVD players.
Tesco's Tim Mason said: "Tesco Computers for Schools scheme is more successful than ever. This year 1,500 new schools have joined the scheme, bringing the total of UK schools taking part to 30,000.
"The schools in the area have done particularly well in collecting vouchers this year. It takes a lot of cakes sold at the school fair to raise enough for a computer. We hope this will help give a big boost to local schools and that the equipment will make a real difference."
