Schools are being given money so they can work closely with successful businesses.

The cash will enable four schools in the Chichester district to set up projects with local companies and take day trips to see how they work.

Mary Holder, from Chichester Education Business Partnership, which donated the money, said: "Our aim is to help prepare our students of today for the working world.

"By offering grants, local schools are able to run projects that they would not normally have been able to."

Money went to St Anthony's School, Bourne Community College, Manhood Community
