SCHOOLS ACHIEVING SUCCESS TOGETHER
SHERBORNE AREA SCHOOLS' TRUST
Castle Cary Primary received 20 gleaming new laptops after local Rotarians spearheaded a fundraising drive. Brue Valley Rotary Club, which covers Castle Cary, Wincanton and Bruton, presented the school with 20 Chromebooks. The donation comes after old computers were donated to Blackmore IT for
refurbishment and sold to raise cash through the Laptops4learners appeal. You can still take old tech to Phillips Tyres, where Nigel Phillips collects them all for Simon Barfoot of Blackmore IT. It is hoped to present other local schools with computers. The Rotary club has more than 30 members and has been going about 11 years.

SCHOOLS ACHIEVING SUCCESS TOGETHER
SHERBORNE AREA SCHOOLS' TRUST
A small village school is holding an open morning for parents on Thursday, October 14. Charlton Horethorne Primary School caters for children in the village but also for all of the surrounding villages and towns of Sherborne and Wincanton. It is now part of SAST (Sherborne Area Schools Trust) which is currently a Multi-Academy trust of 17 schools (13 of them primary), allowing small school to team up with neighbouring schools when needed. A spokesman said: “Our small, village school is set in the beautiful surroundings of Charlton Horethorne on the border between Dorset and Somerset. As we are in the centre of the village we have fantastic links with our local
church and the community, including the parish council. “This makes for a strong family ethos where everyone comes together to make the school the best it can possibly be.” There are two sessions for the open day – 9.30am10.30am and 11am-12pm. Call 01963 220345 or email office@charltonhorethorne. somerset.sch.uk to attend. The spokesman added: “All of our children in school are nurtured in an environment where they can succeed. They receive expert teaching and build relationships with children and adults that will last a lifetime! “We look forward to welcoming you to our unique and special school, where we have places available for each year group.”
