‘Outstanding’ says Ofsted


by Julie Magee


A GOVERNMENT inspector described Bowland High School as “outs tan din g ” in a recent Ofsted report. Inspector Jim Bennetts told pupils they


were “really lucky to be at a school as good as this” and described their attitude as “generally excellent”. “Almost all that the school does is of


exceptionally high quality,” Mr Bennetts explained in a letter to pupils, adding: “You p i^ f a big; part in making it so good.’’.'.'#j-'>L.j|';:; •The inspector gave the school the top


rating of “outstanding” in six out of seven categories, which look a t such areas as achievement and standards as well as per- sonal development and well-being. He commented that the pupils’ achieve­


ments in most subjects in lower and upper school are “exceptionally high” and went on to praise the teaching, which he said is “consistently of high quality”. “Relationships throughout the school


are excellent. This is a t the heart of the remarkable personal development that pupils demonstrate and the outstanding


work that the school does for their care and welfare,” Mr Bennetts added. Since the school was last inspected in


2000, the number of pupils that attend has grown from 350 to 500. During the past five years it has undergone a major building programme that has replaced three-quarters of the school’s facilities and in September, 2005, it became a specialist school for performing arts. Only a few areas were listed in the Ofst­


ed report where improvements could be made at the school. These included supporting those Year


Seven pupils who come to the school with weak basic literacy skills, monitoring closely older pupils’ achievement in Eng­ lish and exploring curriculum arrange­ ments that would give pupils greater access to vocational courses. In his letter to pupils, Mr Bennetts


added: “With the new buildings, there is not much space left on the school site to run around. And the playing field is not very good. The school will be seeing what can be done about these things.” Picture shows pupils at Bowland High


School celebrate their outstanding Ofsted report.

SMOKE alarms save lives - and that message seems to be getting through in Lan­ cashire. The cou n ty ’s Fire and


Rescue Service is a top per­ former nationally when it comes to the numbers of Home Fire Safety Check visits and free smoke alarms fitted in Lancashire homes. With a figure of 36,125

Throughout Lancashire, :/.fj!jMdrnX?/l 2'^


fire-fighters are carrying out Home Fire Safety Check visits where, at the invita­ tion of the householder, they can identify potential


■ fire hazards such as over­ loaded electrical sockets and clothes left to dry too near to heaters. They give advice’on how


to prevent fire and what to do if the worst happens and there is a fire. Helping the householder


draw up a fire escape plan, and learning how to survive if trapped by fire, can be life-saving advice. Because a smoke detector .


provides the essential early warning to enable those in the home to make their escape, fire-fighters Mil fit one or more for free during a Home Fire Safety Check v is i t , if the home is not already equipped. Lancashire’s Chief Fire


Officer, Peter Holland, stressed that the service’s performance is due to the


efforts of fire-fighters, com­ munity safety workers and support s taff across the county. “The numbers of Home


Fire Safety Check v is its undertaken throughout Lancashire are having a direct influence on reducing the number of fires in the home, with fire deaths and injuries at the lowest level on record,” he said. “We hear about fires in
