Ward said Ribblesdale's education formula was clearly working, with 68% .of pupils gaining five A to C grades at GCSE level, a 6% improvement on the previous year. She went on to relate some of the personal success stories behind the statistics, naming pupils'who had overcome problems and achieved great academic success. She added her hope

that Ribblesdale would become one school which the Department for Edu­ cation gives greater free­ dom to with regard to the education it provides in the future and the "supe­ rior status" that is to be awarded to the best spe­ cialist schools. She called on Education Secretary Estelle Morris and her team to act upon the advice and guidance com­ ing from the teaching pro­ fession. On a darker note, she


referred to the recent murders of three school­ girls - Holly Wells, Jessi­ ca Chapman and Milly Dowler - which she.said reflected a "sick side to our society". Ms Ward also com­


mented on the "marked increase" in mental health problems among pupils; saying there was little in


■ the way of professional support for them. She questioned where society will be in two decades' • time if the problem of


; pupils carrying around what she described as "so much adverse baggage" is


■not addressed now. ■Concluded Ms Ward:.


"Children like to know where they stand, what is acceptable and what is not acceptable and the consequences of unac­ ceptable behaviour. It is all about feeling safe and being able to function effectively. We owe it to. future generations to set clear standards and to be consistent."


' Added Ms Ward: "So


often in school we feel, that we are. fighting against the flow, a voice in the wilderness. We will continue to fight for what. we believe to be right, but we would prefer ours to be a shared view and a uni­ versal message, in society, at home, as well as at school." Among achievements


attained by pupils, Ms Ward mentioned the fre­ quent correspondence she receives about the way these youngsters conduct themselves when out in the community. She also referred to the increased links the school has enjoyed with the wider community since gaining its technology college sta­ tus. Looking forward, she


wondered what would be achieved in the coming academic year - redesig­ nation as a technology college and making a con­ tribution to life within the local community, among the suggestions she made. Ms Ward concluded by


saying that these, togeth­ er with unexpected events, would ensure that Ribblesdale had a "thriv­ ing, vibrant forward-look­ ing community". "There are exciting times ahead," she said. Pictured with pupils at the event are, from the

CLAYTON LE-DALE


Civil war life The meeting of Clayton-


le-Dale WI was opened to friends and visitors who enjoyed the evening's enter­ tainment, which was in the capable hands of Miss Fiona Rashleigh, of Preston. She appeared dressed as a


fairly prosperous farmer's wife of the 17th Century during the Civil War. She told her audience of the way of life, the clothes and the social standing of the peo­ ple, all the way up the social ladder. Work was very segregat­


ed, both by sex and social position. In sewing, men made trousers,, jacket and coats, while women sewed shirts, shifts and underwear. Everything was hand-made - seven children carding all day would be needed to keep one woman spinning all day, and seven women spinners would keep the. .weaver, (male) busy all day.


The colours worn indicat­


ed your wealth and position, as fine colours and black dyes were imported and costly. Miss Rashleigh was


attended by her "boy", mem­ ber Mrs Marjorie Jones, dressed in shoes, stockings, knickerbockers, shirt and very heavy woolfelt coat. The evening was full of detail, even showing the backpack with knives, forks, food and clothes which the


soldiers carried. Thanks were expressed to


Miss Rashleigh by Mrs Jean Ratcliffe for a brilliant evening full of information and amusement. A report was given on the


successful garden party held in August at the home of president Mrs Joan Motter- shaw. Thanks were expressed to Mrs Glenys Whitney for organising refreshments and to Gipsy Sarah for her time. The theme was red/white or blue, and members enjoyed boules on the lawn with food and wine in abundance.


4 WEST BRADFORD


Tins and packets West Bradford Methodist


Church will be celebrating its harvest festival this weekend. On Saturday the church will be open between 2 and 3 p.m. for the recep­ tion of harvest gifts. This year the church is


collecting tins and packets of non-perishable foods which will be donated to "Nightsafe" in Blackburn. "Nightsafe" is a charity which works with homeless young people from through­ out East Lancashire, includ­ ing increasing numbers from the Ribble Valley. Gifts of flowers will also


be welcome for the decora­ tion of the church and then for distribution to nursing homes and to the sick and housebound. On Sunday at 2 p.m. there


will be a service of thanks­ giving at which the preacher will be the Rev. Jim Need­ ham, superintendent minis­ ter of Clitheroe Methodist


Circuit from 1980-93. Mr Needham is a member of a Cheshire farming family and was a farmer before becom­ ing a Methodist minister. An open invitation is


extended to everyone to join with church members and friends in this celebration weekend.


WHALLEY


Golden games At the meeting of Whal-


ley WI, members were pleased to welcome guests from two other institutes. Guest speaker Mrs Pat Ascroft spoke in her inim­ itable way about being a volunteer at the Common­ wealth Games in Manches­ ter.


She brought the opening


ceremony to life, and point­ ed out how moving it was that the Queen came down the steps to receive the baton from the little girl who had to breathe with the help of an oxygen cylinder. She spoke with admiration


of the discipline needed to organise 750 children from Manchester comprehensive schools when they painted their jackets in red or blue, making the Union Flag. Mrs Ascroft was thanked by the president for her enthusiastic talk.


Fair islands Whalley and District


Historical and Archaeologi­ cal Society members and friends were presented with a fascinating talk illustrated with slides on "St Kilda - Lancashire Connections". These connections were


the trawlers from Fleet- wood, which took provisions and provided welcome relief from the islanders' mundane diet. The islands were evacuat­


ed in 1930 due to the aged population being unable to care for themselves. . The next meeting will be


in Whalley Abbey next Thursday at 8 p.m. on "Sex, Drink and Wigs", the diary of Edward Harold.

In memory of father


A SHIELD was presented to Ribblesdale High School Technology College in mem­ ory of the Clitheroe father who died from a rare form of stomach cancer, aged 37. The Kenneth MacMillan Memorial


Shield was presented to the school by for­ mer classmates, who also raised cash for the Grand Cinema Arts Centre project and East Lancs Hospice Appeal. Father- of-two Kenneth was a keen singer, and the shield will be presented annually to the school's Musician of the Year. The shield was presented to the school by Jayne Par- rington, one of the founders of the Ken­ neth MacMillan Memorial Fund, and Kenneth’s parents, Bill and Mary MacMillan. The picture shows Mary MacMillan, Ms Ward, Jayne Harrington, Grace Lawton (16) and Bill MacMillan. (K300901/10)


. > Tributes are paid


MORE than 300 let­ ters and cards, many personal expressions of sympathy and a packed funeral service have paid tribute to Ribble Valley person­ ality Mrs Patricia McGuire. The family moved


to the area some 30 years ago, living first at Chipping and then for a long period in


Waddington Road, Clitheroe. . At that time the McGuires were con'


nected with St Michael and St John's RC Church, Clitheroe. More recently Mr and Mrs McGuire


had lived in Read and been members of the congregation at the English Martyrs RC Church, Whalley. Mrs McGuire (pictured) , who was 67,


was involved in several aspects of church work, especially marriage advisory services and counselling.'She supported eucumeni-


cal events in Whalley. As the mother of four daughters and a


son, Mrs McGuire had plenty of experi­ ence of family life. This and her many years in several aspects of nursing informed and underpinned her "friend to many" role over a wide area, a feature of her life reflected in the number of tributes to her.The Whalley church was packed for the requiem mass, concelebrat'ed by four priests. Mrs.McGuire leaves husband Peter along with her children and eight grandchildren. .
