Pupils at a primary school will now be travelling in a new minibus thanks to two years of fundraising.

Youngsters at Corsham Primary School have taken a short trip in their new bus which was paid for by money raised by the Rotary Club, the school's PTA and the children and their families.

The bus has the school's logo on the side and a picture of the mascot Ivern, the Wyvern dragon.

It will be used to transport pupils between the school's two sites at Pound Pill and Broadwood – the former Box Highlands Primary School.

Meanwhile, its children have also been doing their bit to help soldiers who are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The pupils put together 60 shoe boxes containing toiletries, snacks and sweets as well as drawings.

Headteacher Fiona Allen said: "Several of our families have loved ones in Afghanistan and Iraq."
