ernment control. They are sometimes called fee­


paying (or, more accurately, fee­ charging) schools because they charge parents fees.-They are also called private schools, but this is misleading because most.schools are not privately owned. Most of them have their own boards of governors and a bursar who is responsible for financial arid other aspects of school management. Any surplus income is used lor the benefit of the school. The head is responsible to the governors, but has the freedom to appoint staff, admit pupils and take day-to-day decisions. The wide choice of inde­


pendent schools throughout the country includes day and board­ ing schools (and in many cases schools with a mixture of day and boarding pupils); single-sex schools and co-educational ones; schools for boys and girls of every ability and age up to 19.

should co n ta c t them for a prospectus. The best way to find out about


schools, however, is by visiting them.- Most schools have open days for prospective parents, b u t ' try also to make an appointment to -visit on a normal working day. Among the important things


you should look out tor are: • The pupils: How do they


look and behave? Do you have a chance to'speak to them yourself? 0 The head: Hovv does the


head deal with your questions? ^ Does he or she show an interest in YOUR child? 0 The staff: How well are they


qualified? Is there reasonable staff stability?


, 0 P a s to ra l care: Do the


arrangements for looking after your child's personal needs satisfy you? 0 Discipline: Is discipline


■stricter or more relaxed than you would expect? 0 Curriculum: Is it broad and


balanced? Will your child have an adequate range of options? O Exam results? Do n o t be tempted to go ju s t for schools


which are high in the "league tables". Exam performance usual­ ly reflects schools' academic intake. What might appear to b e ;; the ‘best school’ in a league table might not be the best for your child. Many independent schools admit pupils with a wide range of abilities. If you are expecting more indi­


vidual attention for your child, make sure class sizes are appropri­ ate. Schools vary: in most prep schools, classes will be between 15-20, b u t in some senior day schools they may be as big as 25- 30.


■You do n o t want to dis ru p t


your child's education midway through a vital stage, so remem­ ber th a t you are committing yourself to paying fees for perhaps


several years.. - Extras can add considerably to the bill, depending largely on a c tivit ie s in which your child chooses to take part. Find out what you may have to pay for books, entries for public examina­ tions, stationery, medical sup­ plies. Many schools have second­ hand shops selling uniforms and clothing which save you money. •

and an extension at 40 .Wes­ ley Street, have been passed by Ribble "Valley Council. The demolition of a garage and its replacement by one with a traditional pitched roof and now access, at land off Pendle Street East, had been turned down.


Matters raised. Coun. Whalloy asked the


parish council meeting if any­ thing could be done to make the village look more festive next Christmas. However, other members felt that with the village tree and crib and the efforts of residents, Sab­ den had looked very well dur­ ing the Christmas season. The chairman also pointed out that there was no money available. Coun. Shorter reported


IK


that the bin outside the youth shelter had been damaged, the shelter had not been swept for a while and a block of concrete had been left on the lower Holme. The clerk pointed out that the bin had been very expensive and would not be replaced. A fridge had been dumped at Thornber Wood off Whal­


ley Road. Ribble Valley Council had been informed.


Bottle banks Chairman Coun. Bernard


Parfitt reported to the parish council that an extra bottle bank had been provided and there were now four. But there was still a problem when the wagon came to empty the bins because of vehicles parked too close. Over Christmas, the over­ flowing bins had to be left because inconsiderate motorists had blocked access. The chairman said he Had spoken to the offenders sever­ al times, but to no avail. Coun. P arf itt also


expressed concern that the former craft shop building in Padiham Road was falling into dereliction and was becoming a safety hazard. A planning application to turn it into residential properties had been withdrawn and it was back on the market.
