A Devon school has been recognised for the support it gives pupils who were born prematurely.
Kingsbridge Primary School has been given a Smallest Things Prem Award to acknowledge the extra training its staff does to learn more about the impact that being born prematurely can have on some children's health and development.
The award was given to the school on Belle Cross Road by The Smallest Things charity, which supports families of children born early.
Assistant head teacher Miranda Martyn said the school wanted to provide the support so staff could do what was best for pupils.
Ms Martyn said: "When a child was born prematurely, we want to understand from the experts of the children – the parents – what works best at school and what works best at home.
"We put things in place which might be additional support in reading, it might be they need some help getting changed for PE or they need a little bit of time."
