Ordnance Survey puts schools on the map

PUPILS at two North Dorset schools are firmly on the map, thanks to a gift from Ordnance Survey.

MP Robert Walter visited St Leonard's Middle School and Milldown Middle School where he presented year seven children with their own copy of the local Ordnance Survey map.

The scheme is aimed at helping map literacy among pupils and complements new parts of the national curriculum for citizenship.

Mr Walter, who joined the 11-year-olds in their geography classes, said: "I know this will bring geography alive for many children who will be able to identify their own homes and landmarks on their personal map."
