Bids for specialist status by two Valley high schools are off to a flying start


b y Natalie Cox


A "MARRIAGE" between; two Ribble Valley high, schools could lead them up the aisle to more cash. S t Augustine's RC High


School, Billington, has formed a partnership with Bowland High School at Grindleton in a bid to help each gain specialist status. The Billington school is aiming


to become a science college, while Bowland is hoping to gain status as a performing arts specialist. By joining forces and agreeing to


partner each other, staff from the ■. two schools will be able to exchange ideas, as well as helping to develop links between the two sites. In attempting to become special­


ist centres, both schools are trying to secure additional funding. But in order to achieve this, both St Augustine's and Bowland need to get financial backing from parents and local firms to support the bids they will be submitting to the Technology Trust. At S t Augustine’s the official


launch of its bid was organised by the East Lancashire Education Business Partnership, which arranged for the North-West Air Ambulance to land in the school's playing field, raising awareness locally about what staff, parents and governors are hoping to achieve. Headteacher Mr Anthony

opportunities to the community. I t also has to have a partner school and, as a result, has teamed up


with Bowland High School, which itself is going for specialist status in a different curriculum area. ■


■1 Speaking about the links being developed with Bowland, Mr


■McNamara described it as a nice marriage of two schools. "We feel there is a commonality between us," he said. "We are trying to develop the


culture of sharing and if both get specialist status that would mean two more. Ribble Valley schools getting extra money." Bowland High School is hoping


to achieve its specialism in perform­ ing arts. Headteacher Mr Maurice Graham said that if it was success­ ful the extra cash generated would help towards a capital bid to build a drama and arts studio which could be used by the community. He added that the school was cur­ rently approaching companies with a view to seeking sponsorship. Said Mr Graham: "We are look­


McNamara said a lot of discussion had taken place about which spe­ cialist status the school should aim for. "In the end we felt it was right for us, with strong support from the staff and governors, that we should become a science specialist," he said. "We have a very strong science


department and think we can become a specialist without it


impacting on the overall curricu­ lum we offer children." He added that the school had


wanted to make sure that by attaining science college status, other subjects would not be "weak­ ened or diluted". The school has to raise £50,000,


before it submits its bid but if suc­ cessful St Augustine's would receive £500,000 in match funding. Par­


ents can contribute up to half of the money needed, with the bal­ ance coming from local industry sponsorship generated through new networks set lip between the busi­ nesses and the school. As part of its bid, St Augustine's


has to show how it would use the extra money to develop its curricu­ lum by strengthening what it already offers and by offering


ing for potential sponsors and talk­ ing to our partners in the commu­ nity and schools and we are already working in collaboration with St Augustine's." Among those pictured at St


Augustine's official launch are Mr Paul West, of the North-West Air Ambulance, Miss Imelda Higgin- son, the school's head of science, Mr McNamara, and Mr Ken Read, of the East Lancashire Edu­ cation Business Partnership, (s)

A YOUNG vandal was arrested after damaging guttering at Clitheroe Market on Saturday evening. The damage was slight


and so the boy, aged 15 was released after being reprimanded by the police. . Inquiries are going on


into a more serious incident in which corrugated roof­ ing was ripped off, causing £300 damage. This took place on Friday night.

Ramblers’ trek in Pennines


A WEEKEND walk enjoyed by the Clitheroe group of the Ramblers' Associa- tiontook place in the south Pennines, start- ing from Owd Betts on the Edenfield to Rochdale road.


. The recent fine weather had deserted the


group as it set off in the mist and rain, which persisted for most of the day. The party quickly climbed Knowl Hill -


the flat top summit,is only 13 miles from the centre of Manchester - before heading north on a very faint path over peaty moor­ land, which due to the recent dry spell pro­ vided easy walking. A climb up Higher Hill followed before


the walkers crossed the empty hollow of a dam, which had been breached many years ago, although the Ordnance Survey still shows it as a reservoir. Having picked up the Rossendale Way,


the group followed it to Waugh's Well, built in 1866 to commemorate Edwin Waugh, the well-known Lancashire dialect poet. Joining part of the new Pennine Bridle­


way, the ramblers headed east across exten­ sive disused quarry workings. The mist' and cloud lifted, giving views


over Cowpe Reservoir, but it did not last, and the party reached Top of Leach - at 474m the highest point of the day - in cloud and more rain. The indicator showed that Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent could be seen, in the right


conditions! The group then set off down the Rooley Moor Road, an old packhorse trail which is


also known as Cotton Famine Road, since it is paved with stone setts laid during the American Civil War by unemployed textile workers on government relief. The ramblers then dropped down to the


Naden Valley and crossed the reservoirs and, after a short, but steep climb out of the valley, went over the shoulder of Knowl Hill and returned to Owd Betts and its tea van. The next walk is on Sunday, October 13th, and will be in the Haworth area.


Stolen - a stable door THE old,story about shutting the stable door is


not funny for a local family. Despite being securely in place, the upper and


lower portions of the door at Stable Buildings, Langho, were stolen on Saturday evening or night. . They are made out of tongue and groove chip­ board and valued at £100. Police are making inquiries.


; Shop extension is given the go-ahead


AN extension can be built at the Althams Travel shop in King Street, Clitheroe.. Officials of Ribble Valley Borough Council, acting under del­ egated powers. have approved the plan for the two-storey construction at the rear of the building. -
