A WATERSIDE school has moved into a new era of learning after buying an exciting new piece of computer software.

Manor Infant School in Teachers Way, Holbury, has purchased an interactive whiteboard, a large computer screen that can be controlled by a pointer or a finger.

The device - a link between a computer and a DVD or CD-ROM projector - will help pupils develop vital ICT skills.

It was bought using a £1,000 donation from Esso and ExxonMobil, the two companies that own and operate the Fawley oil refinery.
