A special ceremony is to be held tomorrow after all of Wiltshire's schools have now been connected to the Internet.

The six-year project to bring the technology into establishments has now been completed, as all 247 schools are now online.

Brinkworth Earl Danby's C of E primary school has become the final piece in the jigsaw, having been connected to broadband through the South West Grid for Learning.

The network was established in a bid to help all of the region's children have access to safe web browsing and enable them to access learning resources.

A ceremony will be held at the school to commemorate the landmark, according to the BBC.

Meanwhile, headteacher Sir Mark Grundy was recently given a knighthood for his "groundbreaking" work in bringing information communications technology into his college.

Mr Grundy's project involved creating a learning portal for all students, to ensure access to online learning material and resources.
