PUPILS and staff at Christ Church School have been celebrating the news that they have won a second national award for their website.

The Bradford on Avon primary school beat off 1,300 other schools to scoop a Golden Owl award for continuing excellence. The prize is £100-worth of books for the school library.

The school set up its website, to be found at www.christchurch primary.ik.org, less than a year ago and within months, had won a Golden Owl award for producing a 'site of distinction'.

The awards, presented three times a year, are sponsored by Ottaker's bookshops and ik.com, a Gloucestershire-based web design company which gives free internet kits and training to schools so they can build and edit their own websites.

Ross Stewart, director of ik.com, said: "We feel it is important to educate the current generation with the tools of tomorrow and we would like to help the government achieve its aim of linking every school in the country to the National Grid for Learning."

The Christ Church School site, which has been chosen as a model example during the national campaign, is maintained by learning support assistant Steph Mountstephen, a self-taught technician.
