Scottish primary school celebrates competition win with visit from Jedward

Scottish primary school celebrates competition win with visit from Jedward

Pupils at Windygoul Primary School in Tranent, East Lothian, celebrated a competition win with a visit from X-Factor and Eurovision superstars, Jedward.

Windygoul was announced as the winner of the once in a lifetime visit after working tirelessly over the last eight months to collect mobile phones for recycling campaign 'Give Every Child a Voice.'

The school was one of over 300 schools across Scotland who signed up to the campaign, which is run in partnership with NSPCC’s ChildLine service in Scotland and interactive learning technology company, Promethean, to raise vital funds to support children and young people in the country. 

All schools were tasked to collect as many old and unwanted mobile phones as possible before Friday 13th May 2011 to be in with a chance of winning the special celebrity visit, as well as a set of Promethean’s hand-held learning devices for the school.

Jedward arrived in style at Windygoul Primary School yesterday to congratulate the pupils on their achievements and act as special guest judges at the highly anticipated annual talent contest. Reece Lockhart, age 6, was announced as the winner of the talent contest with his rendition of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme tune, and upon being announced the winner, was joined on stage by Jedward for an encore.
