High Rid

A big well done to all the students and staff who braved the Great British Summer to take part in the High Rid Fun Day on the 28th June!  Despite sub zero temperatures, no shelter and soapy tea (OK, a slight exaggeration but it felt like it at the time) staff and students gave it their all and showed real stamina and spirit by taking part in team games and water sports organised by the Youth Service at High Rid reservoir. 

Photograph's of the day are now on the gallery.
