A READING school received 60 laptops from a technology company last Thursday.
The Ridgeway Primary School, in Hill Brow, Reading, had a special visit from Keysight Technologies, which has offices in Winnersh Triangle and Wokingham.
The donation, which forms part of the company’s commitment to promoting better education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. includes a range of leading brands and quality equipment.
It will be available for both pupils and staff to use at the school.
Deputy Headmistress Hannah Wells thanked Keysight Technologies its donation.
“Making sure that every child has the best opportunity to build their IT literacy skills from an early age is so important,” she said.
“This generous donation really enhances our resources available to ensure that technology can play its important role in our education programme.”
Keysight’s UK general manager Chris Trim added: “As a global company, within each office we’re encouraged to find causes in our local area where we can try and make a difference and give something back to the community.
“With a whole school of potential engineers and computer whizz kids of the future right here at Ridgeway, we’re extremely proud to be able to offer this equipment.
Mr Trim is delighted the donation can be used to complement the work delivered by the school pupils and staff.
