The SSA Wainwright Challenge

As a school community we will aim to climb all 214 Wainwright Fells!

This challenge is for all our school families and community to take part in.  Bag your Wainwright with your family or friends in your own time, or with other school families – a great way to keep active and spend time outdoors during the half term holiday.

Read about our success so far in the Westmorland Gazette
