A SPRING ramble in the Sabden countryside marked the retire ment of a head teacher who prided himself on teaching children about
the environment around them. Mr Peter Shorrock (-IS) has been
forced to retire after IS years as head master of Sabden County Primary School, due to ill health. Only the fourth
head teacher this century, Mr Shorrock has seen the school celebrate its loOth
birthday, as well as open a purpose-built nursery. Pupils, staff and parents said goodbye
to him with a special leaving service on Friday morning. Then all the children and many of the parents accompanied Mr Shorrock, who lives in Whalley, on a walk to Sabden Fold and back. In the afternoon, governors and peo
ple who have known Mr Shorrock and been associated with the school over the past IS years gathered for a buffet and
presentation. __________________
Glenn, who is the hither of a pupil and former pupil, reflected on his admiration and respect for Mr Shorrock, as well as sadness at his departure. “Mr Shorrock is a man who has an
