SCHOOLS are being forced to come up with increasingly creative ways to cope with growing numbers of children.

So we have to applaud the ingenuity of St Ebbe’s Primary School in using a yurt to house one of its classes.

Instead of having to make do with an ugly temporary building and feeling like the poor relations, these children will be the envy of the rest of the school with a classroom with a distinctly Mongolian flavour. And full marks to teachers for grasping the opportunity.
