A Royal Navy Merlin helicopter dropped in on Carre's Grammar School to encourage students to take up science, technology, engineering and maths.

Teacher Ian Scholefield explained the helicopter visited as part of a careers drive to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects among GCSE choices for year nine pupils.

Groups of children from year 7 and 9 from all three of the town’s secondary schools were invited to look around the aircraft and talk to the crew during the hour-long visit.
