Windygoul Primary School in Tranent, East Lothian, has triumphed over hundreds of schools from across Scotland to win a superstar visit from X-Factor and Eurovision double-act Jedward. Staff and students, along with the local community, have worked tirelessly over the last eight months to collect mobile phones for recycling campaign Give Every Child a Voice.

The primary school is one of over 300 schools across Scotland who signed up to the campaign, which is run in partnership with NSPCC’s ChildLine service in Scotland and Promethean to raise vital funds to support children and young people in the country.

Schools were tasked to collect as many old and unwanted mobile phones as possible before Friday 13th May 2011 to be in with a chance of winning the special celebrity visit, as well as a set of Promethean’s ActivExpression hand-held learning devices for the school.

Jedward will arrive at Windygoul Primary School later this month to congratulate the students on their achievements and will act as guest judges at the school’s highly anticipated annual talent contest.

Give Every Child a Voice is making a significant contribution to the work of ChildLine in Scotland, which has been providing confidential support to children and young people in need of advice for the past 20 years.

You can find out more about the campaign on the Give Every Child a Voice Planet pages, where you’ll also find a selection of related teaching resources.
