THE village school in Dunsop Bridge may be small, but quality has always been a keynote. As a result, Thorneyholme RC Primary School s nine


staff and 37 children are especially delighted that their excellence has been formally recognised by the national


Investor in People award. The school embarked on the programme when Mrs


Elaine Richards was head teacher. Mrs Richards, who is now a Lancashire numeracy consultant, decided to aim for the standard in order to provide equal training and devel- opment opportunities for both teaching and non-teaching


staff The school is currently in the process of recruiting a new


head teacher to take it into the Millennium. The school's last OFSTED report highlighted the good


working relationships existing between the staff and

Final evening walk has strong competition!


THE final Wednesday evening walk of the sum­ mer for Clitheroe Ramblers attracted 37 members, despite threatening weather and international soccer on television. Starting from Bolton-by-


Bowland, the shortened three to four-mile walk led by John Whitehead went south over Skirden Bridge towards Bolton Peel with its preaching cross. Two new bridges erected only this year were then crossed, one over Holden Beck and a longer one over Skirden Beck, as the walkers made their way on a new footpath

Ruth’s pedal-power day out in Cheshire


PEDALLING 100 miles around Cheshire on Sun­ day was Moorland School

Bike Events in conjunction with Cycling Weekly, the ride then headed out into the Cheshire countryside through the Delamere For­ est, down to Beeston Castle and Nantwich, before returning to Wythenshawe via Middlewich and Wilm-

at 6-20 p.m., having stopped for half-hour breaks en-route at Nantwich and Mobbcrley. She was accompanied by

final season's drink and sup­ per at the Copy Nook Inn, and reflected on a successful season of mainly village walks and the introduction of a two-walk system. One is usually four to six miles and the other of less dis­ tance and easier pace, an idea which it is intended to develop further next year.

Builder starts work on wrong plans so part of home may be demolished


A BUILDER started work on a house using the wrong plans - the council approved different ones so the half-finished construction is a "mirror image" of what it should be.

Valley Borough Council's Planning Committee refused an application for the detached dwelling in the grounds of The Stonehouse, Clitheroe Road, Whalley, as


it is.Officials recommended


this course of action, saying, that the way the house is built,.with the garage on the other side to that in the approved design, puts the main part of the construc­ tion too near the Stone- house. So the new property is "unduly obtrusive" and out of scale and keeping with the surrounding area. Coun. Mrs Joyce Holgate

MP seeks urgent meeting to save Tosside school


LOCAL MP Nigel Evans is seeking an urgent meeting with Lancashire County Council's Director of Education, Chris Trin- nick, to discuss ways to save Tosside Primary


School. Speaking from West­


minister, Mr Evans said: "We cannot just close the school without any regard for the children, teachers, parents and the whole community of Tosside. The school is vital to the existence of a lively and


| vibrant local community. If the school closes, then the community, as we know it, will be irrepara­


bly damaged. "Parents, children, teach­


ers, governors and myself will not watch Tosside close until we have explored every possible means of keeping it open. We have to be realistic and look for viable options if we are to save Tosside and I am sure that the council will want to discuss every option. "The future of a success­


I i


ful rural community school, which provides children with an excellent eduction and a cohesive community, deserves all of our support. We must not waver in our responsibility to provide children with the excellent education they deserve, and it is this belief that will drive us in our fight to save Tosside from closure."


competitors, Ruth was not riding a full size bike, only a junior version of a racing bike, making the event even more of a challenge. Now she knows she can


ride the distance, she plans to seek sponsors for next year, when she will ride for the Children's Society, the charity for which her moth­ er, Mrs Jane Warman, works.. On completion of the


event, Ruth, pictured above,who has a twin brother, Harry - a pupil at Ribblesdale High School - was awarded a certificate and a medal.
