A BURNLEY office equipment company has backed a local primary school by providing a football strip and new computers.

The tie up between St James' Lanehead CE Primary School and FH Brown has provided school's seven-a-side team with new kit and 17 desktop computers, a server, printers and a laptop for the new ICT suite.

Headteacher Jennifer Brunskill believes that the ICT Suite will be a very valuable asset for the school.

She said: "The new facility gives the children access to a whole new range of learning opportunities both from CD-ROM and from the Internet.

"We are very pleased with the levels of enthusiasm that the children have shown for lessons in the new ICT suite."
