Despite the gale force wind and the horizontal rain Ullswater Community College gave a sunny welcome to His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester on 29th November 2011.
The Royal visit was agreed with Kensington Palace following a letter from School Councillors Emma Edgar, Charlotte Stobbs, Rebekah Hodgson and Aimee Martin to The Lord Lieutenant of Cumbria, Sir James Cropper, at the commencement of building work on our new Applied Learning Centre early in 2010.
His Royal Highness examined the work of students in Hair & Beauty, Motor Vehicle Engineering, Construction and in the Retail Unit before moving on to Cumberland Hall where he admired the Art work on display and was entertained by our Cheerleaders, The School Choir, Year 9 'Lindy Hop' dancers and performers in a dramatic extract from The Lord of the Flies. Before leaving the school The Duke of Gloucester also unveiled a slate plaque and signed the School Visitor's Book as a permanent reminder of his visit to UCC. Many of the students, however mistook the Duke of Gloucester for the Lord Lieutenant of Cumbria, Sir James Cropper who accompanied His Royal Highness in full formal dress complete with sword and peaked cap. His Royal Highness, however didn’t seem to mind the mistake too much!
Everyone who visited on the day was impressed with the fortitude of our students in braving the weather, the talents and skills of our students and the warmth of their welcome on this special day for Ullswater Community College.
