OFSTED full of praise for village school


STAFF, pupils and gov­ ernors at Brennands' Endowed Primary School, Slaidburn, are celebrating


their


OFSTED inspection report.


At a time when much


of rural education faces critic a l problems, the inspectors found th a t Brennands is an effective school providing good value for money. Their report said:


"Good leadership and management provide the school with clear educa­ tional direction that pro­ mote its improvement and ensure th a t it runs smoothly. "Good teaching effec­


tively supports pupils' learning and allows them to achieve the standards expected of seven and 11- year-olds." The "dedication" of head­


school worked hard, say the inspectors, with sustained effort and a high level of concentration and effort. Personal, social and health education is successfully taught, and the curriculum enriched through links with the community. A strong moral code permeates the school and good social development is encouraged, with lunchtime exploited well to develop social skills. The inspectors felt that

space available at the school has cut that for physical education, which is cramped. The subject should receive more time and space, recommend the inspectors in their "key issues for action" list, noting that a scheme of work for it had been put in the improvement plan by the school. More time should also be given to music and art, and work should be more frequently marked and more written com­ ments offered about possi­ ble improvement. The tendency for families


to take holidays in term time was commented on by the inspectors, who consid­ er it interrupts education as well as taking Brennands' attendance to a below aver­ age 93 per cent. But there was no unauthorised absence. The inspectors felt that

victory, as she has won several com- petions in magazines. She has enjoyed reading from an early age and her favourite books are those written by Roald Dahl and Anne Fine. As well as being an avid reader, she also enjoys writing her own stories as well. Her talents are not only confined to


those of a literary nature either! She is a member of the netball and running clubs at school and she enjoys swim­ ming. She is also a member of the Read and Simonstone Players and can play the violin. Multi-talented Rebecca (pictured) read The Secret Garden, by Frances


tale. It's an excellent book to read again and again! In the story, Mary Lenox woke up and found that her mum, dad and servants had all got ill and died from a fever called cholera. Mary was sent to live with her hunchback uncle called Mr Archibald. He never talks to anyone and locks himself in his room. Next day Mary makes friends with a lit­ tle robin and one day the robin dug in the soil for worms, but instead found a key, so she put it in her pocket and played with her ball. The ball went over the great vine wall and she climbed over and she was in the beautiful garden. Then she saw a door, could the key fit in the door, she wondered?"

no matter how tasty the food or well-grown the grape, the garden should not be over­ looked. So this weekend tidy up the borders and declare war on the weeds before invit­ ing all those friends round to enjoy a taste of summer.


EATING outdoors, whether with a barbecue or not, is great fun on sunny summer (lavs. But to make it a truly enjoyable experience, you need to have your garden looking good and, ideally, have some stylish garden furniture to utilise on such occasions.
