FACTORY workers are to be taught Spanish in a partnership between their work and a Darlington school.

Hummersknott School and Language College is starting a basic holiday Spanish course for employees at Cummins Engines plant, in Yarm Road.

The school has linked up with the factory's learning centre to give workers six outreach sessions.

Extended schools co-ordinator Kate Hinchliffe said: "Hummersknott School and Language College is committed to lifelong learning and actively looks for ways to involve the whole community in its work."
