THERE was a spring boost for John Keble CE Primary School in Hursley thanks to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Masonic Grand Charity.

Also known as the Tom Langton Fund, the money is used for good causes across the two counties.

The school in Hursley is the latest organisation to benefit, and received £900 for equipment in a new multi-media suite.

Commander Adrian Green, Master of Merdon Lodge no.5135, the village’s Masonic group, presented the cheque to pupils.

Head teacher Nikki Young and Amanda Apps, who chairs the Friends of Hursley School, were also at the presentation.

It comes after the lodge provided new drinking fountains at the site in 2002.
