A PROJECT to capture sport on film has received a £5,000 windfall.
The Sports Performance initiative, being run by Framwellgate School in Durham, aims to capture on digital camera and camcorder, performances by pupils and elite sportsmen and women in the community.
Other schools and Durham University will be able to share its photographs and footage through video conferencing, video streaming and the Internet.
The project has been boosted by a £5,000 education award from BT, which gives grants to schools that use information communications technology to promote learning.
Richard Hamer, programme co-ordinator, said: "The online awards programme opens up opportunities for UK schools to share their teaching skills and broaden the scope of current school projects.
"We are delighted to be able to help a number of schools each term, and wish Framwellgate School luck as they begin their project."
