tions from a wide area of the North, and all have to be analysed and filed away. Help is needed from


patient people interested in history to keep up with the flow. Little technical knowl­ edge of recording is needed. Increasing awareness of


the importance of recorded history, and of the way improperly stored material deteriorates, means that professionally-run archives such as the one at Clitheroe are more and more seen as the place to send recordings. In his latest report, offi­


cer in charge Mr Andrew Schofield says a sizeable col­ lection about the history of the University of Manches­ ter has been taken in. Man­ chester United FC also con­ tinues to record, but there is also input from this area, including recordings being made by the Chipping Local History Society. The archive also copies

The school assessors' report noted that teaching was satisfactory or better in all lessons, good or better in 94% of lessons and very good in 33%. And, accord­ ing to the report, pupils at the end of Key Stage Two attain standards above the national average in English, mathematics and science. As with all Ofsted inspec­

report, Mrs Glenys Lath­ am, the school's chairman of governors, said: "The school community at Grindleton CE Aided Pri­ mary School is glowing with pride this Christmas, as the second Ofsted inspection gives high praise to an already good school. The school inspection in May 1996 found that Grindleton was a good school, the inspectors in November found that it was now a bel­ ter school, as a result of good management and, in

particular, excellent devel­ opment planning." In a separate report


about the school's provision for pupils' spiritual develop­ ment, Grindleton was described as a school where a warm, friendly, Christian family atmosphere prevails throughout. Other strengths identified in the report were the acts of wor­ ship, which inspectors described as a strength of the school, and the spiritual development of the pupils, which was said to be "very strong". The inspector con­ cluded by writing: "I com­ mend the headteacher and all the staff for providing a happy, caring Christian


atmosphere for all their pupils and for the welcome given to all through its 'Open Door' policy. I com­ mend the governors, head­ teacher and all the staff for the hard work and commit­ ment they have shown for their school, especially as so many constraints are placed upon small schools."

She is taking up a job as small schools' advisor for the county, where she will also be part of a team of literacy advi­ sors. Her successor, Mr David Lloyd, will take up his new job at the start of term. Pupils are pictured cele­

Trees planted at hotel to mark new millennium


FAMILIES visiting the Gibbon Bridge Hotel at Chipping have planted trees to mark the new mil-
