Head embroiled in tables wrangle


A STRONGLY local aspect to the exam league tables controversy is being aired in the Roman Catholic Press nationally. Stonyhurst College headmaster Mr Adrian


Aylward has been criticised by the head of a state-sector Roman Catholic school in Portsmouth for witholding summer examina­ tion results from the conventional tables. But Mr Aylward has been defended in let­


ters to the newspaper from another Catholic headmaster and from Stony hurst’s recently- retired Director of Admissions, Mr Peter Anwyl, of Clitheroe. Headmaster Mr Clive Dytor, of The Ora­


tory School, Berkshire, says it does not go into the tables either. He writes: “Schools fix­ ated by their positioning in the league tables risk disappearing up their own fundamen­ tals.” Schools should not be trapped by the bean


counters and spinners, he adds. Mr Anwyl is president of the marketing


and development association covering all independent schools, no t ju s t Roman Catholic ones. He also criticises the critic, Mr Neil B re tt , of St Edmunds RC School, Portsmouth. As Mr Anwyl’s letter points out, the results

recognition to the exemplary work of staff with the less able pupils, whose achievements are no less laudable, that prompted the stance that Mr Aylward took,” writes Mr Anwyl. He suggests that Mr Brett also point-scores


against the independent sector when the real­ ity is that it and the state sector are actively co-operating more and more to benefit pupils and staff in both types of school. At Stonyhurst, shared initiatives at both


primary and secondary level have shown that there is much in common, and much to be learnt, from each other. Shared faith and searches for justice and peace helped this. Catholic schools in both sectors had a great deal to offer the Catholic community, he says. “I t would be sad if Mr Brett’s structures were to revive old and, hopefully, discredited


attitudes in Catholic education,” says Mr Anwyl.


Camera club


LAST week’s meeting of the Ribblesdale Camera Club took the form of a print and slide b a tt le with the Burnley club. Two


judges from each group chose from 10 entries in each format. The print section was first and after both


clubs had been ahead at times, the result was a tie.


The first third of the slides contest saw a


nip-and-tuck situation, but. then Burnley established a clear lead to run out 20-17 win­ ners.
