The headsets allow pupils to take virtual tours around foreign lands and explore the culture and architecture, to help make learning even more interactive and fun.

Becky said: “It’s so nice to see how the money has been spent, I wish they had these when I was at school. I can’t believe they have bought so much from us raffling off a barrow of booze.”
