Computeach donates flat screen monitors to primary school

IT training provider Computeach has donated 25 flat screen monitors to a primary school in the West Midlands.

The company has a long-standing relationship with Roberts Primary School in Gornal through sponsorship and donations.

The company sponsors the school's ICT room and donates equipment on a yearly basis, donating around £10,000 of peripheral equipment since 2002.

Roberts Primary School had planned to replace their existing screens, but Computeach stepped in with 25 flat screen monitors that they felt would benefit pupils and teachers alike.

Deputy head teacher Steve Greenhalgh said: "The donation is a wonderful gesture from a company that has strong ties with the school. It means that the money we would have spent on the monitors can now go towards other learning resources for the children."

Computeach has had a close relationship with the school for several years and has worked with them on numerous projects including running an annual Christmas card competition amongst the pupils with the winning design being chosen as the official Computeach Christmas card every year.

Karl Parkinson, managing director of Computeach, said: "We feel that businesses and education establishments can work together as part of a cohesive community effort to give our children the best possible start in life.

"IT is such an important factor in the modern world and vital to children's education and Computeach is proud to be associated with a forward-thinking school and to promote a healthy understanding of IT at the earliest possible developmental stage in their school lives.

"As a learning establishment ourselves, we really do understand how having the right equipment can make the experience much more exciting and rewarding.

"The next generation of IT specialists deserve all the support and help we can give them, and if that means providing something as simple as new flat screen monitors, then we are more than happy to help."
