Keen to promote road safety and provide new opportunities for students, the friends of Harris Academy have again provided an opportunity for Harris students to test their driving skills.

Rugby Roadies supplied the cars and instructors and Harris Academy supplied some very enthusiastic young drivers. As a first taste of driving a road legal car, the students were eager to get started some of their comments included “Best day ever” and “can’t wait for next time” Parents watching from the sidelines felt that the experience could only help their children’s confidence and self-esteem. All of them did so well and obviously enjoyed every minute, they all left with a huge smile.” Another parent commented it was a fantastic experience for the children so much fun and a confidence boost”.

Thanks to Rugby Roadies for giving the students a day to remember and also the Friends of Harris for planning such an enjoyable day.

Friends of Harris would also like to thank Head teacher, Michael Stoppard and the site staff for opening the school grounds to this event.

With this event we managed to raise £90 for the Friends of Harris fund.
