THE sky is the limit for three teachers with a head for heights as they embark on a two-mile high parachute jump.

The daring teachers from St James CE Primary School in Oozebooth Terrace, Blackburn are stepping out of their classrooms - and out of a plane - to boost funds for a new computer suite.

Elizabeth Foster, 23, said: "We are all really looking forward to it and it is something new for us all.

"It was my new year's resolution but something we all wanted to do so we hope to raise money at the same time."

Teachers Catherine Forsyth and Jackie Burns will join Elizabeth for the tandem jumps on Saturday morning in Lancaster.

But before the big take off the intrepid trio, from the left, Jackie, Elizabeth and Catherine, got in a bit of practice, thanks to a set of steps and a brolly!
