CHIRK-based Kronospan has been helping out at two local schools by donating some of their brand new worktops.

In a drive to improve the computer suites at Ysgol Acrefair and Cefn Mawr Primary school, the wood-panel manufacturer has sent new worktops which will give the children the modern and up-to-date facilities they need.

Lisa Roberts, head teacher at Ysgol Acrefair, said: “Due to our budget constraints we really rely on the generosity of local companies. We are so grateful to Kronospan – the new computer suite is a real step forward into the 21st century for us!”

And down the road at Cefn Mawr Primary School, the infant area has also had a new worktop to house their computer area.
