Mystery donor buys all pupils at primary school recorder

A mystery donor has bought hundreds of recorders to give one to every child at a Norfolk school. Robert Kett Primary School, in Wymondham, launched a crowdfunding appeal to buy recorders for 100 of its pupils. It wanted to equip each child in years 3 - 6 with their own instrument, to avoid the risk of spreading Covid from sharing them. But as it crept towards its £600 target, the appeal struck a chord with a music personality, who stepped in and offered to make up the difference so that all 630 pupils at the school could have a recorder.
