Sky News presenter on the astro-turf...	...interviewing 3 sixth-formers...
... in the upper common room...	Hey, where did everyone go?
...in front of the Clark Building...
... will she make it to the top of the hill?!	... Mr Morris, our new headmaster, is interviewed.

On Thursday 21st April 2005, Sky News came all the way to Rossendale to interview BRGS sixth-form students and staff about their feelings on the forthcoming General Election and current political issues!

This was for two reasons: within the Rossendale and Darwen constituency, there is only a marginal difference between Labour and Conservative votes, and the BRGS sixth form is the largest sixth form in the area!
