pupils, private, public or fee-paying schools, as they are known, provide an alternative to state-run schools. From single sex to co­ educational, from boarding to day pupils, senior to junior, rural or mban, large or small - there is an extensive array of facilities available The Independent Schools Council


represents 1,280 schools which edu­ cate more than 500,000 children. With a style of learning which


focuses on academic achievement and encouraging pupils to become well- rounded individuals, independent schools have many qualities which make them attractive to parents. The ISC website highlights some of


the varied reasons why parents opt to send their children to independent schools: • Small class sizes • Individual attention • Standards of education • Examination results • Good discipline • Encouragement of a responsible


attitude to to school work • Development of pupils' social


responsibility • Extra-curricular activities. Across this area and beyond, pupils

FOR the fourth time in a row, a Clitheroe children’s nursery has received a glowing Ofsted report, achieving “good” gradings in all aspects of the thorough inspection! This marks the 12th year in


operation for the Rossendale Nursery and Baby Unit, in York Street, making it one of the longest established in the area. It is well known and highly


regarded for providing quali­ ty childcare with friendly, qualified staff. The latest Ofsted inspec-


tidn report said that “the nursery provides a very wel­ coming and fully inclusive environment, where children are safe, well cared for and inake good progress in their learning”. :


; The report added: “Chil­


dren are well occupied, inter­ ested and motivated, and they enjoy their time at nurs­ ery. The management and all


staff work effectively as a dedicated team, to provide good quality care and educa­ tion for children.”
