WINCHAM Community Primary School received £550 to purchase some much-needed dictionaries for years three and four.

Following a request from Key Stage 2 Lead Ros Casson to the Rotary Club of Northwich Vale Royal in July, the Youth Committee was delighted to learn that dictionaries were still an important source of reference for children and remain a major part of Key Stage 2 learning.

The club was therefore happy to support this request and provide the necessary help to purchase 60 dictionaries.

At the presentation, Ms Casson said that the school was very grateful for the new dictionaries as funding cuts have meant that the school budget is under pressure with insufficient funds to replace the current dictionaries that are in a very poor state and out of date.
