A Watford primary is one of the first to introduce a new app for easy access to school information.

Laurance Haines School, in Vicarage Road, is the first school in the area to have an app, which includes term dates, events calendar, uniform and school meal details.

There is also a link to the school's social media, including Twitter and Facebook pages, as well as comments that are being left at #lhsapp.

Headteacher James Roach said: "With so many of our parents and children using digital communication to stay in touch with the world, we decided to design and launch our own app.

"I'm very proud of our innovative use of new technology as a way to support the learning of our children and providing our parents easy to access, up to the minute information about the school."
