Pupils from a village school who have been campaigning for more Government cash came face to face with education secretary Damian Hinds on Friday.

Youngsters at Billingshurst Primary School have been writing regular heart-felt letters to Mr Hinds urging him to meet up with headteachers to discuss West Sussex’s school funding crisis.

And two of the youngsters got their chance to hand over letters in person to the education secretary when school parent-governor Abi Smith took them to Petworth church on Friday where Mr Hinds was giving a talk about faith in schools.
