A big Q hangs over school -


to everyone’s delight!


THE big Q at a Clitheroe school is not a question, but an award for quality. The standard of basic skills


taught at Edisford Primary School has resulted in the pre­ sentation of a Quality Mark, which is awarded to schools which fulfil required govern­ ment agency levels of teaching reading, writing, spelling and numeracy. The award involves 24 ele­


ments, which include action plans for teachers, assessment of pupils, staff training and the encouragement of parents. The school put into practice


what are described as significant strategies to raise standards of English and maths. The director of the Basic Skills Agency said that the award is very difficult


to get and that being presented with it is a credit to the school. The Quality Mark will be


retained for three years, after which it will be renewed if the school continues to perform well. Head teacher Mr Robert Pye


said that he was delighted that the school passed the rigorous standards, which were down to a change in the culture and direc­ tion of the school. He added “We developed a


much more collaborative approach to management, by pooling everybody’s strengths." He went on to thank all the teachers, children and parents for their hard work. Our picture shows Mr Pye


with the Quality Mark award and some of his thrilled pupils. (C170103/4)


Inspirational speaker dealing with traditional photography


THE speaker at last week’s meeting of Ribblesdale Cam­ era Club was Mr John Barton, from Accrington, with his talk “About 70 Prints”. John is well known to those


club members who are also in the Pendle Print Circle, where he contributes consistently high-quality black and white prints from large format cam­ eras and printed in the tradi­ tional wet chemistry way. Fittingly for traditional


prints, traditional subjects were also chosen. Beverly Minster, the Italian Chapel on Orkney, the Ashton Memorial at Lancaster, waterfalls, trees and standing stones were fre­ quent subjects, mixed in with humorous observation, both in comment and photograph.


The only pictures riot in the


British Isles were from Tus­ cany. . This was an inspirational


evening and a reminder that traditional photography is nei­ ther dead nor dull. Even the most familiar subject can take an interesting new aspect in the right hands. The next meeting will be at


the club’s Chatbum rooms on Tuesday, January 28th, at 7- 30 p. m. when the highly respected photographer Mr Keith Sudderby, judges a dou­ ble competition, both open in subject and also on the theme of the elements. New mem­ bers are welcome to come along and see how the club works and what it has to offer. Ken Geddes

Gold; but sunny day out for ramblers


ON a cold, but surprisingly sunny day, a party of Clitheroe ramblers set off from the top of Waddington


Fell. The 18 walkers, led by Mrs Pat Parrott, left the car park at the fell top, and went over the moors and down to


Fellside Farm. The.views of the valley below and the hills beyond


brought many murmurs of appreciation from the group, several of whom had riot been in the area before. ■ Down on the track; past the tastefully converted


Skelshaw Farm, the group crossed Easington Brook, which was then followed on its northern bank through


■ Broadhead Farm where the ramblers observed a large silo bag being opened and hooked on a tractor. This.being part of the Clitheroe 60K route, the group


went past Harrop Hall, through Harrop Lodge-with difficulty-and across the fields to Harrop Fold. There the walkers paused to admire a splendid stone chair erected to the memory of Jack West, founder chairman of the Clitheroe group, and his wife, Zelma. The walk then changed, with the going becoming


rougher, and the party climbed slowly past Swan Bam into Grindleton Forest. They were disconcerted to find several groups of shooters on both sides of the path, but with fingers crossed, and secure in the knowledge that they were on a Public Right of Way, they proceeded to the top of the fell, noticing with wry amusement the var­ ious notices asking walkers not to disturb the nesting birds. Relieved to be out of the deep woods and on to the


open fell, where they were more visible, and with the shooters well behind them, the party felt able to take a final tea stop. Then, bracing themselves against the cold wind which


seemed to have come from nowhere, the group returned over the boggy high ground and back to their waiting cars. The next weekend walk on Sunday will be to Flasby Fell, inquiries to 01254 248713.


Chess club loses shield match


THE Clitheroe Chess Club A team lost their Lucas Shield match against first division team Crusaders A. Mr Phillip Titterington and Mr Brendan Brown were


both outplayed by strong opposition. However, Mr John Buxbaum’s stunning king’s side


attack against a French defence brought victory, thus preventing a whitewash. Mr Eric Mansfield gained a half point for Clitheroe in


a tight-fought game featuring some able defensive moves. Clitheroe Chess Club members meet every Tuesday


evening from 7 p.m. in the Catholic Social Centre, Low- ergate. Players of all ages and abilities are most welcome. For further details, contact Mr Brendan Brown on

A LOCAL man is a key figure and major pow­ erhouse behind one of Britain's largest and most successful independently owned finance-sector firms. It has just made headlines in the business Press with what observers see as a timely, neat­ ly-executed, £100m. deal. Chartered accountant Mr Peter Hargreaves


(56) has steadily built up 400-employee invest­ ment broker Hargreaves Lansdown with co­ founder Mr Stephen Lansdown since starting out in 1981. Manifestly one of the Ribble Valley's most


successful exiles from both financial and profes­ sional achievement points of view, Mr Harg­ reaves, pictured above, returns to visit his moth­ er in Clitheroe from time to tima He lived in the Ribble Valley himself until 1979. The precise worth of Hargreaves Lansdown,


a private limited company, is open to specula­ tion, but is clearly a huge sum - directors and some employees have shares, but the two founders own the lion’s share. If ever the firm goes public and floats on the Stock Exchange, their wealth will be boosted even further. Mr Hargreaves is a prominent figure in the


business world.' Last year he was listed 58th in a list of entreprenuers compiled by Enterprise for Entrepreneurs magazina The Hargreaves family enjoys a low-key


lifestyle in a Cotswolds manor house and Mr Hargreaves has happy memories of his boyhood in the Valley..He sends good wishes to contem­ poraries of some four decades ago. Mr Hargreaves went to CRGS, a few yards


from the family baker's shop in Chatbum Road where he grew up in the 1950s and which his mother and late father ran for 30 years. After qualifying in accountancy with a


Blackburn firm, Mr Hargreaves worked for Unisys and Whitbread and major accountants Peat Marwick Mitchell before co-founding Har­ greaves Lansdown with definite ideas about the keys to success. Financial industry watchers and columnists have consistently commented ever since on the firm's habit of never observing the normal way of doing things. _ Hargreaves Lansdown has always been based


in Bristol, a prime example of its noncom- formist polity, for virtually all comparable firms are in the City of London. Increasing develop­ ments in technology have helped prove Mr Har­ greaves' theory that a properly run business making best use of today's communication methods can compete with the best of the rest, whatever its location.. . Two surveys last year put the company in the


top five of the country's investment brokers. It was the only one in the group to be a true inde­ pendent —the others named were all owned by a bank or building society. Hargreaves Lansdown is Britain's largest broker for ISA business, the fourth largest Internet broker and the 10th largest execution'-only stockbroker. The firm also operates one of the country's largest fund "supermarkets”, and has numerous other initia­ tives, reflected in its many web sites. ‘ Mr Hargreaves and his team are especially pleased at the reputation and success of the Hargreaves Lansdown "Investment Times", which goes to around a million homes, a reflec­ tion of the firm's large client base. "I write much of‘it and I like to think it would make my old English teacher, Mr J. D. C. Lewis, proud, because I didn't exactly excel at the sub­ ject when I was at the grammar school," says Mr Hargreaves. • ■ | The latest deal saw Hargreaves Larisdown


sell unit trusts with £100m. in assets to Investec Asset Manageinent.
