School hosts American guests


A GROUP of school pupils from the United States have returned-home after forging new links with Clitheroe Royal Grammar School. The young people, from Newman


Preparatory School, Boston, were in the Ribble Valley after a group of CRGS pupils had spent a fortnight in Boston at Easter. The American pupils had a busy


time, being taken to York and Black­ pool, spending two days in London, and taking part in a CRGS manage­


ment conference programme and a religious education conference on The Holocaust.


One of the teachers organising the ,


exchange, Mr Andrew Blunt, said: "The Boston School is a solid and exciting partner for the future to com­ plement exchanges with France and Germany.!' The Boston pupils, pictured here


with their Ribble Valley counterparts, are from a 250-pupil private school. (K160702/4)

I at Calderstones Hospital, Whalley. Six of its clinical managers have had


I their roles extended, with a small | increase in pay, The recall of- the "matron" concept
