THE tremendous success at GCSE level of many Bowland High School pupils called into question the accuracy of the 11-plus examination, said head teacher Mr Stephen Colling at the school’s annual awards evening. He told a packed hall of parents, pupils


and staff that the rural secondary modern school had achieved a remarkable leap in its examination results this year, with 44% of pupils gaining five or more grades *A to C.

RAMBLERS FACE A WINTER WONDERLAND


HEAVY snow affected the Clitheroe Group of the Ramblers’ Association when a party of 14 walked to North Earls and Yeth-

the group left Embsay ear park, heading over field paths to Eastby. After half a mile on the road, they followed Bark Lane, past Angrymirc Laitlie and Calm Slate farms, to shelter for coffee in Moor Lane. They then climbed

This was on the bridleway over Embsay Moor, directly into a biting wind, with frozen snow from the previous week making progress difficult. After a hard slog, with intermittent pauses to admire the view behind them over Bolton Abbey and Simon’s Seat, the pa r ty reached North Earls, at 1,430 feet the highest point on the route. Up to this stage, the sun
