A golden 50 years at Ribblesdale
SINCE that memor able o ccas ion on August 3rd, 1932, when the ' Princess Royal officially opened R ib b le sd a le , the school has certainly experienced its share of change. About 12 generations of
children have passed through the school, the
number of pupils has more than doubled, the staff has almost quadru pled and the building has greatly increased in size.
Although. .Clitheroe’s
first and only secondary school has endured for 50 years, it took more than a quarter of a century to get it off the ground. Before 1932, after fin
ishing their junior school ing, children either moved to the grammar school or continued with an elemen tary education until the age of 14. As early as 1903,
Clitheroe Education Com mittee recognised the need to build a new senior school. But it was frequently
postponed because of dis agreements about the cost
and siting, the coming of the first world war and the reluctance of some elementary schools to lose their “older and more in telligent children.” There were also disputes over the provision of religious

instruction. - . At first there were, ef
fectively two schools at Ribblesdale — one. for boys and one for girls. In 1932 there were 509
■pupils — 235 of them girls — from the town itself and the surrounding vil lages, including some from the West Riding-of Yorkshire. Now there are nearly T,200 pupils. - One boy lived on a
remote farm and had to walk down a long track to
the road, collect a bicycle from a cottage, cycle to' Slaidburri, catch the spe cial bus to the school — and all after rising at 5-30 to help milk the cows. .' In those days there
were 16 members of staff — today there are about 70.
Over the years at
titudes towards teaching and sport have radically changed. In the 1930s, on- sports day, no children were allowed to run more than 100 yards in order to avoid “straining growing bodies.” School meals were 5d a
day or 2s a week- if paid on Monday morning. Ac cording to the records, on one day three gallons of rice pudding was served. . The school gardens pro
duced vegetables for the kitchens and in 1937) when 887 meals. were served in one week, the butcher’s bill came to just £4 12s. .
Milk was brought by
-horse and cart from Mr- Tom Kendal’s Littlemoor ’ Farm.’ ■ ' .
After , 1945 the school followed now familiar
trends —■ uniform. • the setting of homework, the sitting of external exams and the raising of the school heaving age. A steady growth in numbers led to subsequent over crowding.'
In 1963, Ribblesdale’s
first “old boy” member of staff was appointed and since then former pupils Miss Dorothy Wignall, Mr Robert Barlow, Mr Jack
' Waterhouse and Mrs Philippa Conti (nee Boyd) have joined the staff. .
■ By 1973, when the
school leaving age was raised- to 16, nearly all pupils were being entered for examinations from CSE to A-levels. Almost immediately major exten sions were completed — a raising of the school leav ing age unit. In 1974- the Ribble
Valley Adult Centre, was linked to the school. But with problems of increas ing pupil numbers, shared facilities and administra tion, the adult side was transferred later the same year to Whalley Old Grammar School. Twelve months later
numbers again outstrip ped. accommodation and ' the school was offered
Overtaking led to death crash
A WADDINGTON bank employee who died when her car was involved'in a four-vehicle crash on the three-lane stretch of Accrington Road, Whalley, possibly had the same idea as the driver of the car she collided with — to overtake — a Blackburn inquest was told.
Kathryn Holding (19),
of West Bradford Road, was driving home from work in Great- Harwood last November when her mini was struck on the bumper by a car travel ling in the opposite direc tion and finished up under the wheels of a lorry.
• Mr Ian Bloomer, of Ac crington, the lorry driver,
• told East Lancashire C o ron e r Mr George Graham that there was nothing he could do to avoid Miss Holding’s car. He did not see any colli sion between the mini car and another vehicle.
PC Anthony Bolton said
the driver of the other car told him that the mini did not pull in but kept coming towards him' fast. Verdict: Misadventure.
Broke aerial
A MAN ’who damaged a car aerial in Lowergate,
Clitheroe, was fined. £50 by the town’s magis trates. Eric Douglas Briggs
to
96.6p (90.4p), calf bulls made to 114p (107.13p), and fat cows to 85 2p (74.7p).
(21), of Henthorn Road, Clitheroe, admitted caus ing the damage. He was also ordered to pay £10 restitution and £5 costs. Mr John Bates,' pro
secuting, said that the owner of the car saw
Briggs snap off the aerial and told the police. - In court, Briggs said he
had been drinking' and slipped and fell against the aerial while walking
past.
A night of song
A VARIETY of favourite numbers were featured in the third annual presenta tion of “Words and Music” by C l itheroe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society and the Haslingden and Helm- shore Band at the Parish
Hall on Friday, and Satur day evenings.
Some 25 members of
the Operatic and Drama tic Society took part in the show and . among the many impressive perform ances was Roger Dug- dale’s memorable render ing of “If I were a rich man” from “Fiddler on the r.oof,” as performed by the, society in Feb ruary. The band, which in
cluded among its 28 mem bers three who have each given 50 years’ service, was conducted by James Lowe. Choral conductor was James Parker and piano accompaniment was by Philip Dobson: :

premises in Lowergate, Clitheroe, belonging to SS Michael and John’s RC School. ,
. This accommodation was used by pupils in the fourth and fifth years. A new block at Ribblesdale was completed in 1976 to enable all - pupils to be educated at the main school site.
As the 1980s ap
proached the schpol reached a peak roll of over 1,200. The need for yet another overspill was evident and in September, 1979, three classrooms at W h itea cre • S ch o o l , Barrow, were made avail able for two years until completion of a further three science laboratories.
Head teachers have
been Arthur Langshaw (1932-41), Miss Kate Rushton (1932-34), Miss Dorothy Rushton (1934-
. 41). Tom Heyworth (1941- 45), Tom Chadwick (1946-
60) and Reg Derbyshire (1960-66). The present headmaster Denis Mor timer joined the school in 1967. In 50 years. Ribblesdale
has certainly had an inter esting and proud history, and looks forward to serv ing! the area for .many years' to come. But just in what role —
- with the education system in Clitheroe currently under the spotlight only time will tell.
Call for bigger fines
F IN E S imposed by magistrates for health off ences such as the trans portation of unfit meat should be greater, it was claimed at a meeting- of the Ribble Valley Coun cil’s Public Works and Health Committee. During a discussion about a successful pro-
'secution brought by the council, members were told that the maximum fine under, the Food and Drugs Act .was £100. “And that maximum is
often only - imposed for second or third offences,” said the council’s solicitor Mr Paul Timson. Coun. Mrs; Margaret
Mayes (Mellor) said the fines did hot relate to the severity of the offences and members supported her proposal that the council should make known its feelings on to the Association of District Councils’ in a bid to have the situation changed. Health and Housing Of
ficer Mr Peter Gladwin said new legislation on the matter had been -in the pipeline for some time and it was just a matter of waiting for it to finally go through.
£360 theft
CASH . and jewellery valued at a total of £360 were stolen from a house in Chatburn Park Drive, Clitheroe,, while the oc cupants were away, for the weekend. Thieves entered the house by a side" window
and removed the jewel; lery after searching a bed room.. The cash was stolen from a cupboard.
