Pupils at Worth Valley Primary School have been getting ahead in the digital age with their photography project.

Year six children have just completed an 18-month project which involved them using the latest camera equipment and computer software to create digital images.

Funding for the project came from an Education Bradford business partnership scheme. Worth Valley Primary was one of three schools chosen as "Primary Enterprise School of the Year", and was awarded funds to buy six new digital cameras.

The children used the cameras to snap people and places in and around Keighley, and then put their pictures together as digital images. Based on subjects ranging from the Victorian age to people at work, the images have been compiled on a CD-ROM to be used by other schools in the area.

The project was the idea of head teacher Paul Grundy, who wanted to build the pupils' information technology skills through extra-curricular work.

He said: "Now the youngsters can do stuff with digital images that most adults couldn't do."

Pupils had worked with digital images downloaded from the Internet in previous years, but the latest project presented a new challenge.

Mr Grundy said: "There was a great deal of hard work from both Cath Hawley, our learning mentor, and year six."
