Royal visit for academy pupils
THE Duke of York will be finding out how businesses are helping with the education of students when he visits an academy in Staffordshire this week.
Prince Andrew will also be chatting to pupils and staff at The JCB Academy, Rocester, and getting a tour of the impressive school building.
The visit takes place this Thursday and will see the duke present certificates to some of the organisations that have supported the academy since it opened in September 2010.
Students spend much of their time working on projects set by these companies, so they can put their engineering knowledge into practice.
