Today’s independent


school parent is increas- i n g I y a f i r s t - 1 i m e "buyer," xvhn would not recognise the “ old school tie,” however vigorously it was flaunted! Such first-time parents have brought with them fresh attitudes and insights and enabled the schools to become better inte­ grated into the communi­ ties within which they are located.


This sense of commu­ nity extends more and


more to those working in the state sector of educa­ tion , with xx- h o m xv c


share common aspira­ tions for our pupils. Today you wi l l find tcuchers from both sec­ tors sharing conferences,


being members of the same professional bodies, serving on curriculum committees and pitting their pupils against each other on the games field.


So, too, community use of our sports and theatre


fac i l i t ie s is bui lding bridges and increasing mutual understanding.


There is no gain-saying


the widely reported suc­ cesses of independent school pupils in public examinations, as exem­ plified by their position at the top of the annual league tables. Such results are often out­ standing but, at their best, independent schools huve higher aspirations for their pupils; to mukc them feel genuinely part


of a community which cares; to offer them firm moral values; to support t h c m 1

,M any independent


schools are distinctive for their religious commit­ ment, which suffuses all that they do and provides a further common link betxvecn staff, pupils and parents.


that today's independent schools are far removed from their fictional or media counterparts, not least because they are more open, outward­ looking and genuinely committed to making their outstanding teach­ ing and recreational faci­ lities as widely available as possible. That there is a “ fee barrier” cannot be den-


ied, hut this barrier is often not as insuperable as it appears and schools are working actively to make fees, xvhether day or b o a r d in g , more "affordable.”


Education is all about


vision and our vision for the future must be that u system o f educat ion emerges xvhich does jus­ tice to all our children, yet continues to of fer parental choice. Such a


system must find room for both sectors xvorking in partnership, xvith the state sector properly funded, fully stuffed and adequately resourced, and xvith that measure of "freedom" xvhich is one of the independent sec­ tor’s great strengths. Such a position will


not be reached overnight, but all of us xx-i 1

“We want the Platform Gal­


lery to appeal to ail groups in the community. It was the sort of thing we have wanted to do for a long time, but didn’t have the right venue," he said.


It was Mr Taylor who “disco­


vered" Trumble while manning the Kibble Valley Council mar- <iuee at the Koval Lancashire Show. He spotted the charis­ matic clown performing and xv a s impressed wi th the


delighted reaction of children. His audience xvas certainly


tickled when Trumble came to


Cl itheroc and particularly enjoyed watching Jemima pinch Smarties from him throughout the hour-long show. " E v e r y o n e seem e d t o thoroughly enjoy themselves.


It was an extremely noisy event. The kids nearly raised the roof shouting at Trumble," commented Mr Taylor.
