As one brilliant new pre-school opens at a school in Jill Dando’s former town, pupils are sending books to a new nursery just opened in Africa.

Little Learners pre-school has opened at Castle Batch Primary School Academy in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset where Jill Dando grew up.

At the same time, in Malawi, Africa Sunrise Nursery opened in the St Paul’s community, Mzimba, Malawi.

Now pupils from Castle Batch are sending out dozens of books for the Malawi children with hopes a new school scheme will see hundreds more follow.

The Malawi project was funded by Dr Ron McKechnie, who did in 2013 and his charity, One Parish Link.

In October, Jill Dando News lead teacher Sarah O’Gorman will be travelling to visit the nursery and launch it with her charity, LIFO.  

Miss O’ Gorman founded Jill Dando News at Priory Community School Academy five years ago, where she is an English teacher. Shortly after she started Jill Dando News in Malawi before Lockdown put a pause on the plans.

Little Learners, Castle Batch and PCSA are all part of The Priory Learning Trust  (TPLT).

Sarah said: “This is a wonderful link between our schools, Trust and the new community pre-school in Malawi.

“I’m so excited to go over in October and to help officially launch the project.

“We are also eager to get Jill Dando News really motoring now we are out of the pandemic.”
