APPLE, the global technology mega-corporation based all the way across the world in California, has chosen to recognise the fantastic efforts of staff and pupils at a school in the small Wiltshire town of Malmesbury.

This is excellent news for the town and the staff and pupils at Malmesbury Primary School are rightfully very proud of their achievement.

Education is one of the most important factors in a child’s upbringing and it is commendable that teachers at the school are going above and beyond to use the very latest technology to make sure the pupils there get the best start in life possible.

Brilliant schools such as Malmesbury primary are rare, unfortunately.

Few children across the country are fortunate enough to be in the same position as those at Malmesbury, who are lucky enough to attend such an excellent school.

Congratulations to everyone involved in winning the award and giving Malmesbury’s children something special.
