SUPERMARKET giant Aldi has donated several laptops to a primary school in Great Bromley
The German chain is helping pupils at St George's Primary School keep up with their studies from home during lockdown.
Aldi has donated about 20 laptops and charges to the school so they can take part in home-based learning.
Headteacher Becky Keitch said: "The children and staff of St George's CofE Primary would like to say a huge thank you to Aldi for the donation of twenty laptops.
"During this lockdown period, most of our pupils are learning at home, accessing their work via our online learning platform.
"Many children are sharing devices with their siblings so these laptops will help to ease the situation for many of our families.”
