The trustees of the Michael Lowes and Associated Charities, Lichfield Municipal Charities, Lichfield Conduit Lands Trust and Swinfen Broun Charitable Trust have given £6,650 each to King Edward VI School, The Friary School and Nether Stowe School.

Jane Rutherford, headteacher at King Edward VI School said:

> “On behalf of myself and our school community, I would like to extend my thanks for their kind donation for the purchase of laptops for our students during and after the current lockdown.  
>  
> “Moving to online learning has been a huge challenge for both our students and staff, and your donation will certainly ensure that some of our more disadvantaged students do not miss out any further on their education.”   
>  
> Jane Rutherford, King Edward VI School

The donation is the latest local initiative designed to help families facing difficulties engaging with home learning due to a lack of equipment or online access.
