View, was a well known figure in the town. A keen accordionist in his younger days, music played a big part in his life and he will be fondly remembered for his organ playing in various club venues around Clitheroe, including the British Legion. Born in Low Moor in 1918, an only child,
he married his late wife Gladys Twiss in 1941 after being introduced to her by his mother who worked with her at Waddow Hall. A Second World War veteran, he served
in Europe and after being rescued from Dunkirk, was posted to Burma until the end of the war. On his return the couple set up home on
M.
Conway Avenue, where they remained for most of their married life until moving to Castle View in 1994. The father-of-two worked as a lorry driv
er and engineering machinist. Described as a “sociable, decent family
man”, he always liked to do good turns for his neighbours. He is survived by his two childrenas well
as two grandchildren and one great-grand child. (s)

EXCITING plans for a Clitheroe high school to be awarded specialist language status have moved into top
gear. Teachers and pupils at
Clitheroe Royal Grammar School are having to face an anxious two-month wait to find out the outcome of a bid for spe cialist language status submit ted last month. The move will not only
improve opportunities for pupils, but will result in the school becoming a real “centre piece” for languages for the Kib ble 'Valley community. Under the plans, specialist
school s ta tu s will see the enhancement of the school’s facilities including a languages suite at the school’s Chatburn Road site. This will feature a state-of-the-art digital lan guages laboratory - complete with 21st Century software. This will include brand-new computers, headphones and CDs. There are currently four lan
guages taught at the school. These are French, Spanish, Ger man and Latin. The prestigious recognition
will see the possible introduction of a further three - Chinese, Russian and Urdu - enhancing language learning opportunities for its pupils and for the local community. • The grammar school’s deputy
headteacher, Mr Peter Mulhol- land has been in charge of ensur ing plans for the whole project move forward smoothly. Since joining the school in
September last year, he, with the help of his colleagues, school governors, pupils, parents and Ribble 'Valley business folk, has been extremely busy raising £50,000 in order to submit the bid in time. Substantial dona tions have been received from HSBC, Clitheroe the Future, the Rowland Trust, Castle Cement and the friends and par ents of the k:hool. In addition, to help raise the
money. Language College Com mittees were set-up by the pupils at York Street and Chat- burn Road. Committee mem bers held a number of successful fund-raising events, which included a non-uniform day where pupils came dressed in colours of flags representing de ferent countries. The enthusiastic youngsters
also organised a Eurovision Song Contest and hosted a stall during Whalley’s Pickwick Night celebrations. Mr Mulholland believes that
becoming a specialist school will not change the grammar school’s name or ethos, but will continue to raise the standards of its excellent academic reputa tion. He said: “I am delighted that
we have been able to raise the £50,000 required in a short space of time. Since plans were announced, everyone has rallied around and demonstrated great enthusiasm and dedication in kick-starting the fund-raising process. 'We have had a positive response from parents and local businesses as well. “Achieving specialist status
will be a fantastic boost for the school and the local community and it will enable us to teach more languages, hence improve opportunities for everyone.” Clitheroe Royal Grammar
School is renowned for its close links with primary schools in the area and students from York Street and Chatburn Road have delivered outstanding assem blies in local schools with an international languages theme. Mr Mulholland explained
that if given the go-ahead, the status will encourage the school to further work closely with pri mary schools and help teach children modern languages. Headteacher Miss Judith
Evans added: “Thank you to everyone involved in the bid. I do hope that we are successful because specialist college status would make a tremendous impact upon the school.” The school will find out in
June whether it has been suc cessful in its bid. If achieved.

they will become a specialist col lege in September. The school is continuing with
its tremendous fund-raising efforts and held a charity dinner dance recently. The glitzy evening function at the Clarion Hotel, Billington, featured a three-course meal, an auction and plenty of entertaimnent by a live band (The Mission Statements) and disco. The auction items were very kindly donated by Hymoto, Byrnes, Venture Photography, Sainsburys, Blackburn Rovers and teachers, governors and friends of the school. The auction raised over £1,000 for the pro posed new language laboratory
and a good night was had by all. Our picture, above right, shows
pupils Joaima Grundy, Jo Burton and Oliver Kenyon with one of the prizes, a mini-moto at the glitzy dinner dance. (D010406/lb)
