Bridgwater school visits Burnham lifeboat station

Members of Bridgwater's Penrose Special Needs School have enjoyed a visit to Burnham-On-Sea lifeboat station.

The youngsters watched a video about the RNLI's life-saving work and then met the station's volunteers to discuss the station's boats, tractors and equipment.

The visit was conducted as part of an ongoing school project about emergency services.

The picture shows members of Penrose special needs school, Bridgwater, standing in front of Staines Whitfield, the Burnham number one lifeboat.

An RNLI spokesman said: "It is important for people to know about the station, and one way to do this is by encouraging school visits."
