Schools top of the form


by Natalie Cox ' ed.


'Education,- Children’s Ser-" vices and Skills, who praised the top schools, colleges, childcare and social care providers who had earned themselves a place in the annual list of outstanding providers published by Ofst-


Christine Gilbert, Her Majesty’s Chief In s^ to r of


Each had shown an excel-


: lent quality of care, support and education to meet the needs of the children, young people and adult learners. She said: “I wholehearted­


ly congratulate these providers on their success and hard work in delivering such high standards. Excellence does not happen by chance, these providers have a real drive to inspire, challenge, and support children, young


people and adult learners. But there is no reason why everyone can’t be outstand­ ing, I hope they will be a source of inspiration to oth­ ers.” . ■ Rowland headteacher Mr


Cox said: “This celebration of success recognises the extraordinary work col­ leagues in our three schools have done to secure the best po^ible standards of educa­ tion and care for the young people in the Ribble Valley. “Their dedication and


commitment has enabled our schools to be amongst the


very best in the country and it is absolutely proper that we celebrate this achievement All of us were vey proud to receive this accolade from Her Majesty’s Chief Inspec­ tor.” . - All schools which appear on


the Outstanding Providers list 2008/09 receive commem­ orative certificates and are authorised to use an exclusive “outstanding provider” logo. Our photograph shows,

RATS to revisit old friend


THE Ribchester RATS are revisiting an old friend later this month. Thirty-eight years after it


first performed Sandy Wil­ son's musical play “The Boy Friend”, the company have decided to revisit the show it last put on in 1972. • Set in the 1920s, the musical comedy was first performed in 1953 and was famously made into a film by Ken Russell starring 'Twiggy. A gentle send up of flapper


musicals, the plot is set at Madame Dubonnet’s finishing , school for refined young ladies in Nice and follows the classic “boy meets girl, boy loses girl, bpy rediscovers girl and all live happily ever after” storylina : For the RATS' production Polly Browne is being played by Laura Frost, who is well known to Ribchester audi­ ences for, her many perform­ ances over. several years, ■

Parkinson is playing the part of the snobby French maid, while the cast also features some stalwart actors - Anne Lang as Madaine Dubonnet, Robin Simmons as the randy Lord Brockhurst and Glenda Topping, making her RATS

with the development of new garages a t the site in Ribchester Road. A report to the committee


noted th a t in terms of its d^ign, highway safety and impact on residential ameni­ ty the scheme provided no “significant detriment”. But because it “did not


seek” to provide any afford­ able housing, the planning officer said “it should, for this reason, be resisted” and recommended refusal. Committee members


agreed with the recommen­ dation


And plans to demolish a


former Whalley nursery and build a three-storey retail and office development in its place have also been refused. An application for 7


Accrington Road, Whalley, was turned down by mem­ bers of the same committee. A report to councillors


said the proposal was seek­ ing Conservation Area Con­ sent and full planning per­ mission to provide the devel­ opment, with car parking, on the site of the nursery which closed in 2005/6.


However, the planning


officer recommended that the scheme be refused as the development would be “detrimental to the charac­ ter and appearance of Whal­ ley Conservation Area because of the incongruous design of its shop front, the incorporation of modem and poor quality materials, and the absence of robust detail­ ing”. The officer also recom­ mended that conservation area consent be refused. Committee members


agreed with the recommen­ dations.

fire crews using four breathing apparatus, a hose reel and a ventila­ tion kit rushed to the property a t 5-15 a.m. yesterday morning and spent approximately an hour-and-a-half extin­ guishing the blaze. The couple, who are under­ stood to be in their mid- 50s, had already evacuat­ ed the property. Clitheroe Station’s


watch manager Dave McGrath said the house had not been fitted with smoke detectors.
