Hatherleigh Primary School is working with a non-profit educational organisation to provide self-isolating children with free science kits.

Self-isolating schoolchildren in Torridge and North Devon can now apply for a Busy Bag Science kit from Devon-based company Sciencedipity, which provides hands-on science lessons to schools and other groups, as part of a scheme to prevent children falling behind in science during their self-isolation period.

The scheme will run until mid-March and  interested parents can order kits from www.sciencedipity.co.uk/free-busy-bag-science-kits-for-torridge-north-devon.
