Small secondary schools can be successful


IT is perhaps’ under­ standable that, the op­ tions for secondary education presented by the education; com- , mittee should reflect the limitations of then- own involvement in education.


.v.


' We are told that small schools cannot provide a wide enough range of op­ tions for the children and that we must increase the physical size of a school to increase these' benefits of scale. . Yet, an organisation


like the Open University can successfully provide a wide range of subjects when each ‘“school” effec­ tively contains only .one or


Rowland school has vital role


WE see in the report last week that no mention was made of Bowland School in the four reor­ ganisation options. We would like to point


out that Bowland is an essential part of each option in providing places which are needed at the moment and an opportuni­ ty for children to develop. We do hope that when,


public meetings and other discussions take place about the schools’ reor­ ganisation, the county of­ ficials and others involved will remember that it is our children’s future that they are deciding arid not their own interests. R. V. and M. SMITH, 23 Ribble Lane, Chatburn. « • In Lancashire Edu­


cation Committee’s re­ cently-issued pamphlet to Ribble Valley parents, entitled “ Provision for secondary education in the Clitheroe area,” it states: “ In all the schemes


Bowland is shown as an 11-16 comprehensive school. But Bowland is already a very small school.'It must be asked, whether falling numbers' o f pupils will make it impossible for Bowland to provide the range of courses for children of differing abilities ex­ pected in a comprehen­ sive school.”

two, pupils. Surely, with a little imagination and co­ operation between schools the same success could be achieved in small secon­ dary schools. Last time we had public


meetings on this subject the people of Bowland made quite clear their : support for small schools — be they comprehensive or selective. I believe that this sup­


port was based on very real benefits which are p r o v id ed by such schools:— . F ir s t ly , the more


schools we have, the grea­ ter the possibility that children could have a choice of school and that choice would provide feed back on the success of the methods adopted — a fall in popularity identifying a school which needs im­ provements. S e c on d ly , ju s t as


specialist teachers have a big audience in a large school, so, too, have the undesirable elements . within the school. The chance that such


elements- exist will in­ crease with school size and detection of them will decrease as a teacher’s overall knowledge of the school population di­ minishes. However, possibly the .


most important reason for retaining small schools in any re-organisation is one which could equally apply to any establishment. That is, the smaller the


school, the greater is the influence on policy that any one member can have, be it staff, pupil or parent. Economies of scale are


all very well when turning raw , materials into pro­ ducts, but not where people are concerned. Large companies, for


instance, might produce a wide range of cheap goods, but ask one of their em­ ployees what influence he or she . has on company policy — or union policy for that matter? The smaller a person’s


Q u e s t io n n o t been answ ered


I AM writing to ask if any o f your readers can answer; the question “What is the use of hold­ ing public local inquiries?” I do so because late last


year I objected to the de­ signation, in the Clitheroe District Plan, of land to the rear of Pimlico Road, for residential develop­ ment. At the resulting in­


quiry, the ’ inspector ap­ pointed by the Depart­ ment of:the Environment recommended ‘ that the land should not be so de­ signated. However Ribble Valley


Council’s Planning Com­ mittee resolved to ignore the recommendation given by this neutral inspector. Since his fees and ex­


voice in decision making, the less likely they are to use it. Is it any wonder that p e op le become apathetic and uncon­ cerned? The advantages of a


school environment such as that at Riversmead are obvious. But it is just as vital that this school should play a crucial part in any re-organisation so that children need not shout too loud to be heard; need not seek specialist help to be understood; and need not create havoc to be noticed. If Clitheroe parents feel


that too much control is finding its , way into, too few hands, let them speak now otherwise their chil­ dren might have no choice and no voice. And no wonder! • A. BROUGHTON, Delphrock, Bowland Gate Lane, West Bradford.


Former aviation chief dies at Newton home

Films show care of


handicapped youngsters


A MOVING documentary on the . life' of severely handicapped spastic Billy Howes, was the. .first of two films' to be shown to Ribble Valley Foster Pa­ rents’ Association. ,


For most of his young


life, Billy, of Brockhall Hospital, was classed as an' imbecile, but a dedi­ cated member of the nurs­ ing staff discovered that he was intelligent and de­ sperately longed to com­ municate.


With the aid of a type­


writer operated by his big toe, over a period of 11 years Billy painstakingly told his life story. He now helps to train other hand­ icapped adults.


The new approach will


hopefully assume that no other child need be born


, to a life of frustrated non- ! communication.


The second film showed


the modern concept of one-to-one nursing in the patient’s own home and the importance of indi­ vidually planned progress charts for handicapped children.


The next meeting is to


be an informal social evening at the Dog and Partridge, Barrow, on March 17th. Any foster parents wishing to book a bar snack should tele­ phone Mrs M. Knowles (Ribchester 391) or Mrs B. Eidsforth (Chipping 501).

CLITHEROE’S old em­ ployment office in Lower- gate, which has been given a new look to bring it into' the North West’s network of JobCentres. was officially opened yes­ terday. : More than 50 local em­


ployers were invited to a presentation of the Job- Centre’s services. The new accommodation, formerly housed on the second floor of the building, is on the ground floor to give easier access to both the public and employers. •


“The ' new layout will


enable us to offer an im­ proved service to every­ one,” said Manager Mrs J. Mitchell. About 100 job oppor­


tunities will be on display in the self-service area, which is a feature of all JobCentres, and private interview facilities can be arranged for employers. In addition, the Job-


; Centre offers a' pre-selec­ tion service to firms, who

BILLY GRAHAM


In these times of all change, how wonderful it was to hear the one thing that never ( changes, God’s love for people. All people of all creeds and colour. This message of good news is 2,000 years old, yet ever new, yet1 still the same.


The Lord Jesus bless and keep all of you who accepted Him as Lord and Saviour, through the preaching of the truth by Billy Graham.


Rejoice in your salvation and it will grow.


Read the word of God daily in prayer and , you shall feel His presence there to direct ( you. The end result shall be peace.
