Head praises school’s b est year so far in its history


tit 71 ‘lease shop


In local area J WOULD like to thank Ihe many people who _ lupported the Country Land and Business Asso- liation's "Think Local" Initiative. I should also like to thank, on behalf |>[ the rural North-West, ■ill those other organisa­ tions who are helping to liubWdse the benefits of


thinking local. We have received


Lany calls and expres­ sions of support, and Lome from people who


-wanted to tell us how Ithey had helped. Some ■went to events at their ■village hall for the first Itime. Others bought ■more from their local [shop or sought out local | produce when they visit- I fd their supermarket. 1 We were even thanked [for pointing out how I many original Christmas | presents could be bought in local shops or farmers' markets, and for encour-


I aging more people to do what some have been


| doing for years! Given this week's headlines about vanish-


I ing post offices, it has never been more impor- tant to support our local communities. The "Think Local”


Saturday was a good start, but we must keep it up. In these uncertain times, we really can help ourselves and our neigh­ bours by stopping to think th a t where we spend our time and money can go some way towards helping our- selves to a brighter


i future.

month period since the establishment of the

ble to say now 'we have' a new building, not, we


will have1 and this pudd­ ing of specialist facilities now enhances the educa- tional opportunity of


the pupils."


He told the gathering that Phase 2, a specialist
