A LOCAL driving school is the driving force behind a school's new sports kit.

KT Driving have sponsored the Bolton Primary School netball team's new strip.

Christine and Kevin Taylor (back row, centre - right) of KT Driving presented the ten shirts to coach and head teacher Judith Cotter (back row, centre - left) and the team.

Mrs Taylor, who is also chair of governors at the school, said: "We were delighted to be able to support the netball team in this way. Our driving school is all about teaching people new skills, and we wanted to offer our support to the school in their efforts to encourage children to get involved and enjoy games. Netball is a very popular team sport for boys and girls at Bolton School and we wanted to help the team."

Mrs Cotter said: "We would like to thank Mr and Mrs Taylor for their sponsorship. The kit gives the team a sense of identity and encourages team spirit. We hope we will be able to do KT Driving proud by not only looking smart but playing smart in our new kit."
