Woodlands School is one of only four representatives from the south-west region which has n nominated for the award, reports the Plymouth Herald.

Headteacher Andrea Hemmens told the paper: "We were encouraged by our assessor to enter the ICT Excellence Awards as she was very impressed with the range and quality of provision for children with tremendous difficulties in accessing computers."
