This is an extension to the Riverhead School website to allow images of events that occur in the school to be captured on this website as soon after they happen as possible.

This page has been divided into sections to show events that occur across the whole school (i.e. all classes) as well as those that happen in individual year groups.

The images are initially shown as thumbnail galleries. Clicking any particular image will display it full size.
