An educational foundation has announced the allocation of nearly £20,000 in grants to support a high school and its pupils in Norfolk.

The Taylor and Hammond Educational Foundation has committed the grants to stimulate academic possibilities and experiences for both individual pupils and Diss High School.

Funds from this grant will aid pupils in their purchase of essential study assets including laptops and camera equipment, while aiding travel to courses in Norwich and London.

Diss High School also benefits from grant money, earmarked for purchasing photography studio equipment and Manga books for the library.

Chairman of the Taylor and Hammond Educational Foundation, Graham Green said: "We are thrilled to announce this series of substantial grants being awarded to benefit the local young people and Diss High School.

"This contribution reaffirms our commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a culture of learning within our community."

Sam Stops, headteacher at Diss High School said: " Their support has given many of our students the chance to chase their dreams and also provided funding for some of our departmental projects."

A new airport could spark the economy in a rural part of Florida. Will the workforce be ready?
One of Florida’s poorest counties is preparing for the new “Airglades” airport, a $300 million cargo hub that could transform its economy. Local leaders see the project as a generational opportunity, one that could bring more than 1,400 new, high-skilled jobs to their largely agricultural community at the edge of the Everglades. A third of Hendry County’s working-age adults lack a high-school diploma, while almost half speak a language other than English at home, among the highest in Florida.

Fuming locals hit with £10k bill after breaking bizarre fence rule
Residents living by a picturesque marina have been ordered to pay £10,000 for a new fence - to stop them helping boat users with their shopping. People living in Albion Mill in Worcester have been banned from passing bags over the existing railings. To avoid a 20-minute walk carrying heavy bags, boat owners leave their shopping at metal railings on the opposite side of the pontoon where their boats are moored. They then walk around the apartments to access Diglis Marina and have their bags passed over the railings by kind-hearted Albion Mill residents. Apartment managers now plan to erect a 2m (6.5ft) high 35m (114ft) long fence to block off the pontoon after two people complained about boat owners trespassing. They say the current practice means boat owners access a private car park and say some people have been climbing over the metal railings. But furious residents claim they are being punished for helping boat owners.
