Originally the village primary school, RYG first became an outdoor centre in the early 70’s. The centre was first run by Mid Glamorgan LEA before being taken on by The Rhos Y Gwaliau Outdoor Education Trust. This Trust worked in conjunction with Berkshire Unitary Authority and later West Berkshire LEA. 15 years ago the centre faced closure and was taken on by staff members to be run as a private business. RYG still supports many Berkshire schools and continues to maintain a very strong educational ethos.
