Top Field

The Top Field is the last remaining grassy area at BRGS, after the Astroturf engulfed the lower field. It is reached after a long and arduous trek up Glen Road.

Used in the summer (and let's face it, it's too damp at any other time), it hosts such disciplines as the 80m-steeply-uphill sprint, the 317m track event, cross-country running, the long jump and an introduction to Rugby.

It is also pressed into service for events such as the Teachers Sports Day, and in 2004 hosted the whole-school photograph.

The field is likely to built on (or at least encroached on) by the building of the new Water-fold (Clough-foot?) Super Primary School, which with around 500 students, and hence 500 school mums dropping them off, will have absolutely no effect on the parking situation in Waterfoot whatsoever....
