Year 10 and 11 students at Pontypridd High School were treated to a very special assembly last week when Richard Parks visited the school.

Richard’s incredible achievements including the 737 Challenge and his solo ski to the South Pole made his talk so motivating the pupils could not fail to be inspired.

Richard then accompanied Mr Axe and a group of pupils on a trip to climb Pen y Fan.
