Brabin’s wins curriculum award as it is judged ‘a school to be proud of’
THE primary school in Chipping is at the heart of the commu nity, says the board of the School's Cur
riculum Award. Brabins Endowed
School has received the prize for the quality of its working relationship
with members of the community. I t so impressed the
assessors with the high level of commitment and enthusiasm shown all round that they judged it "a school to be proud of". Staff had to show how
the school and local com munity interact, with
each influencing and contributing to the
other. Headteacher Mrs
Glynis Goldsbrough said: "In our submission we had to detail all the activities we as a school organise with various sections of the communi ty.
"This included such
things as our Partners-in Reading programme with parents and grand parents, our eco-work attracting support from families and experts like Lucy' Barron from R SP B Birds of Bow- land, Lesley Cryer of the Ribble Valley initiative From Source to Sea and ICT support from local
B T volunteers, one of whom is a former Bra-
bin's pupil. "We are grateful to so
many people, our par ents, governors and staff, who give their time to the benefit of us all." Brabins is one of only
39 schools in the North West to be granted this national award. I t has been invited to
send two pupils and two adults to the official cel ebration of the achieve ment, where they will join the other award win ners in collecting their certificate from’ the organisers. HRH the Duke of

enjoyed the run, though, as the level of support from crowds lining the route was so high. Miss Morris said:
"There were bands at the pubs and people cheering us on all the way and handing out drinks and sweets.-It made the miles go by more easily." Mr Barrow said: " I t
was one of the best things I've ever done. The whole experience was great." Sir Donald Thomp
son, Director General of Friends of War Memori als, will be travelling to Clitheroe'later in the month to receive a cheque from the couple. The charity maintains
war memorial structures and gardens, and by doing so preserves the memory of the sacrifice made by earlier genera tions of military person nel, most of whom were very young.
The.couple would like
to thank everyone who supported them and con tributed funds for the .charity.

New chairn is likely ft parish coui
A. CHANGE of chairman is tonight's meeting of Whalley Pai cil.
Coun. Eric Ronnan
plans to step down after four years in the post and it is expected he will be. replaced by Coun. Martin Highton. Although parish coun
cil powers in any village are limited, Whatley's owns several key areas of land, including the cen tral Vale Gardens and bus station. :Many people have
criticised the councillors for refusing to allow part of the gardens to be used for car parking. Coun. Highton says he does not see this changing, but pledges the council will continue to look for a long-stay car park site.
Coun.Ronnan has
been chairman since 1998 and also held the post from 1985-6 and 199443. ' ■ He came to Whalley
in 1959, ran a plumbing business for many years and has been a councillor continuously since 1979. All seats on the council are up for election next year. A keen table-tennis
player, Couri. Ronnan reached the last 16 of the RAF championship dur ing his national service and has been closely associated with the vil lage table-tennis club.
