High school’s £lm building scheme


may not be the last


RECENT extensions and improvements at St Augustine's RC High School, Billington, have cost about £lm. . ■ B u t th ey may n o t be th e la s t.


Thoughts are now turning to a fur­ ther programme which would give more places and make St Augus­ tine's the biggest Roman Catholic school in Lancashire.


; . There is severe pressure on places at


all high schools in the Ribble Valley, but there are extra problems for St Augus­


tine's as its catchment area extends into


other boroughs. Currently there are 980 pupils from a


wide area, but if another building pro­ gramme was possible the number would


easily go into four figures. O Headteacher. Mr Anthony McNama­


ra has thanked parents who sent the school good wishes following a school bus incident


a fortnight ago. "A number of parents of children


involved got in touch to thank us for the way we handled the situation — we much appreciate it," says Mr McNamara.
