That’s the official view of Bowland


BOWLAND High School has won the praises of Her Majesty’s Inspectors for its “truly amazing” achievements, said headmaster Mr Graham Crossley at the annual awards


evening. “We offer all any good


school should, but we do it in our own special way. We package it, we deliver it, within a genuine special caring family atmosphere which inspires loyalty and commitment for its mem­ bers — and, to quote the inspectors, to a degree that is truly amazing.” Me told a large audience

of parents, pupils, teach­ ers and guests that although the inspectors’ report had not yet been published, their “ verbal verdicts” and preliminary report had been made known to the school governors. “To say the inspectors


were impressed with Bow­ land, its achievements, its atmosphere, its ethos, is

no understatement. “We at Bowland have


always considered our­ selves as doing a pretty good job, but it was reas­ suring to have all this con­ firmed by a team of Her Majesty’s Inspectors who, in March, subjected our school to an inspection lasting a full week,” he said. “Nine inspectors from

observed, questioned, cross-questioned, looked, examined — opened us up,

example of good practice, as the report will show, with excellent achieve­ ments, even though the


buildings can in no way be d e s c r i b e d

purpose-built.” Mr Crossley. said the


starting point of the school’s success was in placing emphasis on the idea that the individual mattered. Turning to examination


results, he said they were consistently excellent. In the 1992 GCSE results, Bowland achieved 38% at grade C or above. Many were at A and B grades. Quite a number of indi­


vidual candidates gained eight, nine and 10 GCSEs at C and above (several exclusively at A and B grades). Many pupils went on to take A-levels at col­ leges or sixth-forms and then gained entry to uni­ versity and ultimately

facilities for the less able, Mr Crossley explained


that Bowland had a highly developed special needs department, with special­ ist staff to enable difficul­ ties to be overcome. “We have great success


in this area also. Each Is an individual to us — we do have the genuine per­ sonal touch, allowing each to develop Ins or her own talents to the highest degree."

Spotlight on flora of


Pyrenees


FLOWERS of the West­ ern Pyrenees were the subject of a lecture given to Ciitlieroc Naturalists by Mr Peter.lepson. MrJepson described the


wide variety of flora in the Pyrenees, including moun­ tain plants and those from the Mediterranean. Inc­ luded were a profusion of orchids, including the mili­ tary and lady orchids, and th e s w o r d - l e a v e d helleborine. The limestone gorges of


the Rio Aragon were described as “dramatic” by Mr .lepson, who also told the group that wild antirr- liumims grow much taller in their natural habitat. At a higher level; in the


Sierra do la Pena, trumpet gentians grow in great profusion. These, with Mediterranean saxifrages and wild.gladioli, give an impression of how. i f nature is untouched, a natural balance of colour and variety is achieved. l ie was thanked by


chairman Mrs Christine Washbrook, who reminded members that the next lecture will be at Ribbles- dale School on November 2(ith, at 7-30 p.m:; when Mr R. Rhodes will speak on a “Scottish Tour.” • -

Haulage by rail support]


MEMBERS of the Ribble Valley Council have strongly criticised the possibility ol Castle Cement abandoning the transport of cement by rail and transferring all haulage to lorries.


Following reports that such a move could mean ■


S.000 more heavy goods vehicles a year oil the roads, members of the Public Works and Health Committee agreed to investigate the matter. “ I’d like to suggest we query it with the county council and deplore the possibility,’ said Conn.


Frank Dyson (Clitheroe). Conn. Howel Jones (Clitheroe) said: “ On


environmental grounds alone we are trying to encourage railways and keep vehicles off the road. This is not in the interest of the people of the Ribble Valley."
