PUPILS in Darlington have gone a long way for help with their maths homework - Eastern Europe.
A group of year nine students at Eastbourne School - known as the Eastbourne Eight - have been sharing maths problems with their peers in Poland and the Czech Republic. Despite the language barrier, pupils have emailed each other their sums and discussed solutions.
The "e-twinning" scheme is supported by the British Council, which recently named Eastbourne as one of the 20 most deserving e-twinners in the UK.
