St.Mary’s School Sweeps MTN Awards

Chris Valentine, Wednesday 10 Jan 2007

Pupils from St Mary’s CofE VA Primary School in Cambridgeshire almost swept the board at this week’s Making The News competition awards ceremony, hosted by EasyNet and presented by actor Warwick Davis at the BETT show in London’s Olympia. The children from this particular school are so keen on the system, they have even had T-shirts printed.

Making The News, a spinoff of the long-term news disemination project ROSTRA, is in use by hundreds of schools across the country for pupils to post stories, article and interviews on a wide variety of subjects.

Warwick Davis, star of countless movies since the age of 11, including Star Wars – Return of the Jedi and three Harry Potter films, lives near Peterborough and had already visited a number of the schools that make use of MTN.
