YOUNGSTERS from an Ellesmere Port primary school travelled to the Basque Country in Spain to take part in an international internet safety project.
The pioneering scheme, funded by the EU Erasmus programme, matched up pupils from St Mary of the Angels, Little Sutton, with Spanish children.
They are working together on an international e-safety scheme, which will soon be shared with schools in both countries.
It is aimed at keeping young people safe, wherever they are.
Headteacher Rob Hughes said: “It was amazing to see Year 6 pupils from both schools learning Spanish and English together, and working with the Spanish police and teachers on how to stay safe on the internet.
“What a life changing opportunity for pupils in our town!”
The project continues in October 2018, when the Spanish pupils visit Ellesmere Port, to stay with English families from St Mary of the Angels school.
St Mary’s has been awarded the prestigious National E-Safety Mark, for its work on internet safety.
