TEACHERS at a Bromley primary school say a new initiative to improve youngsters' communication and social skills is a great success.
Poverest Primary School, in Tillingbourne Green, St Mary Cray, is one of several schools in the area which receives special funding from the New Opportunities Fund.
Since September 2001, about £1,000 has been paid per term to help the school develop lunchtime clubs.
The clubs run four-days-a-week and activities include arts and crafts, and sports.
Teacher and out-of-school learning co-ordinator Letticia Joseph told News Shopper: "We welcome children who want to work on their communication skills, or who have no access to computers
"They can experience new things and we have seen a great improvement in communication."
