On Monday 11th May, learners from across the Primary and Secondary departments were lucky enough to visit 'The Inspiration Train' on the East Lancs Railway at Rawtenstall train station. This special train only visited Rawtenstall for this one day as it made it's journey around the UK to celebrate 200 years of the railway!

Learners and staff learnt about the past, present and future of the railway by taking part in quizzes, exploring engineering tasks, listening to experts about uses of technology and dressing up as various roles of the railway!

To quote one of our Secondary learners, our visit to this unique train was, 'Inspiring and fascinating!'.
