Boys’ teachers ‘pledged to the success’


of new co-ed school


DESPITE their objec­ tions to the amalga­ mation of Clitheroe’s two grammar schools, the boys’ staff will do all they can to ensure that the existing high standards are con­ tinued, pledged acting head Mr Roy Adams, at the annual speech day. From next September


boys and girls will attend the Chatbum Road pre­ mises up to the O-level stage. They will then transfer to the York Street building which will be come a s ix th - fo rm centre. Boys attending the school at the time of the merger will continue there, but the new intake of 40 will be educated at Chatbum Road.. In all there will be 900


pupils at the two schools. “There will be prob­


lems, there always are problems when schools amalgamate,” said Mr Adams. “Some will be caused by


the merging of the two staffs, some by the split site. “Everyone regrets the


split site and would have p r e fe r r e d the whole school to be on the girls’ site, but the cost of that would have- been too great.” Mr Adams said that the


change would be gradual and could take several


years to complete. It might be four years


before the boys’ school became the 6th form centre and at least five before the school was wholly co-educational. “There will, of course,


be extensions and altera­ tions to the buildings. There are plans for major developments at the girls’ school and, although there are no actual plans yet for


the b oy s ’ ' school, the buildings will require major alterations to make them suitable for the edu­ cation of 250-300 16-19 year-olds.


“When completed —


and they will take several years — the additions and alterations will greatly improve the facilities for pupils of all ages.”


Mr Adams expressed


mixed feelings about his school’s academic year. The GCE O-level re­


sults had been very good — 90 per cent of candi­ dates passing five or more subjects, a higher figure than last year. The best results were in mathema­ tics in which 34 per cent of candidates obtained a grade A. The A-level results had


been in line with expecta­ tions, but it had been a below-average year. Al­ though, the pass rate was good, with 85 per cent successful in two or more su b je c ts , there were fewer higher grades than usual. Nevertheless, 36 of the candidates gained places on degree courses and nine went straight into employment. Mr Adams expressed


dissatisfaction with the grading system used for A-levels, which means that, in some subjects, the difference between a grade B and D is less than four per cent. “The difference in per­


formance is negligible, well within the marker’s margin of error, but for candidates it can be cru­ cial. One secures a univer­ sity place, the other doesn’t.” He hoped that when the


Government came to review the system there would be changes. Mr Adams said that the


s c h o o l ’ s c lu b s and so c ie t ie s had had an


active year and sport con­ tinued to flourish — with some notable individual performances.


Skier Robert Mansell


won the NW tJnder-19 and Open Ski Champion­ ships, gymnast Andrew Braithwaite became the North West Open Champ­ ion and Andrew Tomlin­ son was selected for Brit­ ish canoe team which won the European Champion­ ships in Austria. Chairman of the gover­


nors, Canon John Hudson, welcomed the guests who included the civic leaders of the Ribble Valley and of Clitheroe, Coun. and Mrs Bernard Thornton and Coun. and Mrs Howel Jones. The prizes were pre­


sented by Mr Gerald Hood who retired as headmaster last year after 27 years at the school. He stressed to the boys the important part they had to play in shaping their own futures. PRIZES

Problem of people without


a lifeline CONCERN that some el­ derly people living on their own are without any sort of lifeline has been expressed by a Ribble Valley councillor. Coun. Eric Bracewell


(Clitheroe) said at a meet­ ing of the council’s Hous­ ing Committee that some people had no communica­ tion with the outside


world. His comments came


after the committee was told that two members had attended a meeting on care of the elderly or­ ganised by the local health authority. Cou n. C h r is to p h e r


Holtom (Wilpshire) told members that among mat­ ters discussed at the meeting were ways of communication. Health and Housing Of­


ficer, Mr Peter Gladwin, said that care o f old people should go further than just emergencies. The committee agreed to bear the matter in mind when considering esti­ mates for 1985-86.


Electrical fault


CLOTHING and a fuse box were damaged in a fire at a house in Monta-


fue Street, Clitheroe, on It is believed an electrf


unday. 1


cal fault caused the blaze, which was dealt with by Clitheroe Fire Brigade.


A new post box for


Castle View


RESIDENTS in the Castle View area of Clitheroe may have to walk to the main post office, in King Street, to send their Christmas mail following the closure of their local postbox.


Poppy-day increase


WITH money still to come in, Clitheroe’s poppy day appeal is all set to exceed last year’s £3,134. The £2,114 paid in so


far, includes £1,550 from house-to-house and street collections and £165 from church collections. Both figures are an increase on


1983. Despite all the fund­


raising for the Ethiopian famine appeal, people did not forget our war vet­ erans,” said Clitheroe pop py o rganise r Mrs Ethel Penny. A sm a l l a rea o f


Clitheroe was not covered by a collection, because there were insufficient volunteers, but those who did come forward worked as hard as ever. Mr Trevor Pritchard, of


Peel Street, collected £348 on his own and Mrs Penny has entered him in the E a s t Lancashire Royal British Legion’s competition for the big­ g e s t individual fund­ raiser.


. i The post office, is in­


tending to provide a new box near to the same spot in Castle View, but there is a possibility it will not arrive until the end of the


year. The old one was sealed


up on request of the owners of a shop in whose outside wall it was situ­ ated. They are converting the


shop into a private dwel­ ling and have told the post office that they no longer want the box on the premises.. Coun. Eric Bracewell,


the Ribble Valley Coun­ cil’s representative on the area Post Office Advisory Committee, said that the new box would require planning p e rm is s ion, which might take several


weeks. Coun. Bracewell said


that it was unfortunate that the box was being closed so near to Christ­ mas, particularly in view of the numbers of pen­ sioners who used it.


. “But everyone is doing


their best to ensure the new one will be provided as soon as possible,” he •added.


THI RT Y - EIGHT pupils of Waddington and West Bradford CE School have become of­ ficial members of the


them to the club was Ribble Valley Road Safety Officer, Mr Colin Everett. He told children and


“Tufty Club." On hand to ivelcome


their parents about the basics of road safety and how to properly cross the road. The children then


had the chance to shoiv what they had learned using an imitation zebra crossing, com­ plete with Belisha beacons. The afternoon’s edu­


cation ivas rounded off with a slide show of the adventures of Tufty ami Policeman Badger Bill. Pictured on the cros­


sing, under the approv­ ing eyes of classnmtes, are Katherine Robbins (6) and Andrew Read (7)
