Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, December 27th, 2007 11 Youngsters say farewell to ‘Sir’ and ‘Miss’
TWO Valley headteachers who have more than three decades’ experience at the helm of educa tional establishments are retir ing.
Before the end of term pupils, staff
and governors at Pendle Primary School and Brookside Primary School said a fond farewell to Mrs Margaret Carrington and Mr Gra ham Claydon. A former secretary and personnel
officer, Mrs Carrington went into education as a mature student. She trained in Liverpool at the Ethel Wormald College and also studied for two part-time degree courses in the evenings when her children were young. She worked a t schools in Liver
pool, Sefton and Lancashire, before coming to Pendle Primary in 1995 - at the same time as having a house built in Hurst Green. As a headteacher Mrs Carrington
also became a performance manage ment consultant for schools, a threshold assessor for teachers and an external adviser for governing bodies setting up objectives for head teachers. During her time at the Princess
Avenue school she has enjoyed seeing new facilities become available to pupils including new classrooms, Daisy Chain - the before and after school club - and the library. She said: “I t has been my pleasure
to work with headteachers in other schools to establish the teaching of modern foreign languages particular ly with Brookside, St James’s and St Michael and St John’s. I t has also been my pleasure to see children enjoying sharing European experi ence through the Comenius project allowing us to share with Slovakia, Italy, the Czech Republic and France.”
HEAD
TEACHER Mrs
Carrington is given a warm
send-off by pupils
(B181207/3)
PUPILS give Mr Claydon a grand send-off from Brooksidc. (B181207/1) However, Mrs Carrington said her
overriding memory will be the pupils. She added: “They come to Pendle School to enjoy a curriculum rich in excellence and enjoyment and I retire knowing that the school will be in safe and secure hands of Mrs Lucy Bott, the acting head, and Mr Paul Atkinson as assistant head teacher. “I want to wish everyone well and
I thank the school community for its tremendous support over the years and particularly the cards and good wishes.” Although retiring from Pendle,
Mrs Carrington will continue to work as a part-time school improve ment partner in Manchester. She will also be keeping in touch with school as a grandparent. As a pupil at Ipswich Grammar
School, Mr Claydon decided teach ing was a profession he would like to follow - although he would have loved to have fulfilled his ultimate ambition of becoming a fighter pilot. After studying at Edge Hill Col
lege, Mr Claydon started his career in education in Southport as a sec ondary school chemistry and maths teacher. His next posts took him to Pendle
where he taught a t Whitefield School and Mansfield. A change of direction then took him to Walver- den Primary School, where he spent seven “very happy years” before becoming deputy headteacher at a school in Preston. In January 1987 Mr Claydon
became the new headteacher at Brookside Primary School in Clitheroe where he has been for the
past 20 years - making him one of the town’s longest-ever serving heads. Said Mr Claydon: “I have had a wonderful team. I have been very lucky with good governors, marvellous parents who have given tremendous support, a lot of good staff and fantastic children.” He added: “I have had such a won
derful time and I have had so many great memories that I would not like to try to pick out one above another, but seeing the children do so well and then following their progress are among the precious memories.” Although he is standing down as
headteacher, Mr Claydon leaves' on an exceptionally high note - a recent Ofsted inspection found his school to be “outstanding”.
He will continue to maintain his
links with Brookside after accepting an invitation to stay on as a gover nor and his wife, Olwyn, who has worked a t the school for 27 years, will be staying on, making sure there are continuing Claydon family links with the Bright Street school. Mr Claydon has also set up his
own business and will be working alongside lawyers in crown court. Said Mr Claydon: “Some of the
children have found out what I will be doing and now they think I am going to be a judge, which would be very rapid promotion.” Mrs Beverley Allen will be taking
temporary charge of Brookside until September.
