A LYTHAM school is set to strengthen its links with the Czech Republic.

King Edward VII School has forged close bonds with the Nemcove School since Principal Julian Wilde first visited the town of Hradec Kralove in 1995.

Now the school is to host a science seminar for Czech and German students in September, including visits to Jodrell Bank and the Manchester Science Museum.

Mr Wilde said: "We are looking forward to hosting the science seminar for the first time."
