Help could be on the way to combat overcrowding

trict Liaison t'ommittoo lor Education learned that the schools could soon qualify for "basic needs" allocation, which means they would be in line for Department for Education money.


0 Clitheroe'# Kibbles-


dale High School is expected to learn within the next 10 days whether it has won its bid for


"basic needs" allocution for a f Idd.lHX' s.-heme for two additional music teaching spaces.


O Barrow tt'ontrolled'


Primary School, whose massive overcrowding problem was highlighted in the "Clitheroe Adver­ tiser ami Times" recently, could soon be in line for £7 1.000 for g en e ral improvements.


0 Clilheroe’s Brookside


County 1'rimary is also similarly poised as a prior­ ity case, for £2S.;">00 for a cloakroom for junior pupils. These proposed schemes


are now being considered as "basic needs” bids because of rising pupil numbers. This means that special cash from the Department for Education could come their wav in U>;>db.


0 A £100.000 scheme


for a general classroom and information technol­ ogy space at Rowland High School has already claimed a "basic needs" allocation and work is due to start early in the New Year.


The progress report on local cash bids was out -


lined by the county coun­ cil's capital programme officer. Mr John Martin- dale. at the district liaison committee meeting on Monday.


He said that the pro­


posed scheme for Barrow included a new entrance


and office, and this would release space for school meals facilities. A now resource area would be created in a third class­ room and would relieve

pressure oil the existing two classrooms. Alter the meeting, head


teacher Mr Chris Wood told the "Advertiser and Times" that he was very pleased with the interest and support of the local community in Barrow's problems. "Many people are trying


to do all they can for the school and if we are to bo placed in the 'basic needs' list then there is real hope


for us." he said. Other local schools bid­


ding for cash in the lWo n programme are: 0 Clitheroe'# l’ ondlo County Primary: £20.000 for improvements to staff room, staff toilets and storage. 0 Billington's St Augus­


tine's KC High tAidodk £100.000 for improve­ ments to extend bus turn­ ing facilities by extension to s ta f f car parking


facilities. O Clitheroe's St .lames's


C E v aided' Primary: £17'.000 for playing field drainage.


A STRONG warning that Clitheroe area schools could face an even more serious overcrowding problem than earlier forecasts had suggested was sounded last week. The school population is

expected to explode as more than 600 new homes around the area are com­ pleted and new families move in. but all the indica­ tions are that completion dates will now bo sooner than expected. The problem was high­


lighted at a meeting of the Kibble Valley District Liaison Committee for Education, held in the bor­ ough council chamber, when Clitheroe Mayor and retired headmaster Coun. Howel Jones spelled out his fears about projections for completion dales and pupil numbers. He said that he felt


there had been a statistical error over the assumption


that only StB of the new homes would be completed by li>W. He pointed out that well over Tx'fi of fv)0 houses could be ready for occupation well in advance of earlier indications. He felt that the present


bids for Department for Education cash for local schools c o u 1 d b e t o o modest and pointed that the DEO’s policy for allo­ cating "basic needs" cash could present another problem. He said school popula­


tions were increasine at Brockhall. Whalley. Bar- row and Clitheroe. and yet in terms of DEE policy these areas overlapped and the number of school places were assessed as a whole rather than for indi­ vidual schools. "These overlap in terms


of basic needs and there are clearly some difficult decisions to be taken in


allocating funds." he


declared. Chairman Coun. I’eter


Evans tWilpshire' said that dissatisfaction at pre­ diction dates for housing development completions h a d a ir e a d y b e e n expressed by the borough c o u n c i l ’ s 1' 1 a n n i n g Committee. Coun. Joyce Lilburn


iBolton-by-Bowland' said that sometimes the bor-


oueh council w:is unable to obtain compeltion dates from developers, adding: “ It is very difficult ’"or anyone to foretell when d e v e 1 o p m cuts will b e completed." Coun. Bert Jones tClith-


eroe' added: "Let s make it known that we are alarmed about the fact there is going to be seri­ ous, inadequate provision for our children's educa­ tion in the very near future."

A CIRCUS TREAT FOR CHILDREN


MORK than 90 children of Castle Cement employees were given a Christmas treat in the form of an action-packed trip to Hlackpool Circus. It was the 1 ith


annual Yuletide trip for Castle Cement


youngsters and broke with tradition.


Previously, the group


had always travelled to Manchester. But as “Scrooge” was being performed, rather than the usual Christmas pantomime, organisers


had a change of heart. Shift manager Mr


John Ridgway and transport secretary Susan Ormand, who


arranged the outing, felt youngsters would enjoy the festive entertainment in Blackpool more.


The fun began when


the children, aged eight to 12. boarded two coaches in York Street, Clitheroe. Their first stop was Blackpool


Circus, after which the hungry group tucked into some lunch.
