For the past two years, the schools have been operating within the BAWB Collaboration, but have recently undertaken a consultation process on the proposal to become a Federation (a legal agreement to operate as one body). On March 16th, the Governing Boards of all three schools met to discuss the outcome of this consultation and to vote on the way forward. All three Governing Boards voted to enter a Federation and therefore from April 1st, the schools will be known as the BAWB Federation and a new single Board of Governors will be formed to manage all three schools.

  • On the Junction of the Silurian Rocks and Carboniferous Limestone On
    Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 30, 2021 309 JUNCTION OF THE SILURIAN HOCKS WITH THE OVERLYING MOUNTAIN LIMESTONE, AT MOUGHTON FELL, IN RIBBL1S- DALE. BY THE EDITOR. (SEE PHOTOGRAPH.) THE photograph issued with this year's volume of proceedings, illustrates an important section exposed in the valley of the Bibble, nearly opposite the village of Horton. The Silurian rocks, composed of grits, slates and limestones, extend over a large area, bounded by the line of the Pennine Fault, running in a north and south direction, and that of the equally important series of Craven Faults which run eastward from Ingleton, their position being indicated by the precipitous Scars of GiggXeswick, Attermire, Malham, Yordale and Kilnsey. Bounded on the west and south by these Faults, the Silurian rocks underlie all the highest moun• tains in Yorkshire, forming a tolerably even base, with a general dip to the north-east. Sections exposing the junction of these rocks with the superincumbent Mountain Limestone may be seen beneath Whernside and Ingleborough, in the Ingleton and Dale Becks, and in Clapdale; underlying Cross Fell and Mickle Fell, they may be seen at High Cup Gill, and as shown by Mr. Dakyns, at the Pencil Mill, near Cronkley Scar. Penyghent, and the extensive Limestone Fells of Malham and Kilnsey also have a basement of Silurian Grits. Perhaps the finest section, showing the junction of the two formations, anywhere exposed, is the one chosen for the subject of this photograph. The Silurian Rocks have long been quarried, and are locally known as the Horton Flagstones; they are a bluish grey colour, rather coarse structure, and can be obtained of very large size.

What is the highest mountain in the whole of the UK? Which range is the furthest south? Which parts of the UK have no mountainous areas? Which ranges are easily accessible from Bolton? Which mountain in the UK has a ski slope? Which mountain has a train going to the top? Local Study: The Pennines The Pennines are a mountain range in England. Often said to be the "backbone of England", they form an unbroken range stretching from the Peak District in the Midlands, through the Yorkshire Dales, parts of Greater Manchester, the West Pennine Moors of Lancashire and Cumbrian Fells to the Cheviot Hills on the Scottish border. Their total length is about 250 mi (402 km). The name Pennines is believed to come from the Celtic pennioroches, meaning "hill", although the earliest written reference to the name dates only from the 18th century. Altitude and size The mountains are not very tall and are often called hills. The highest is Cross Fell in eastern Cumbria, at 893 m (2,930 ft).

  • Durham Rare Plant Register 2013 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale Part of VC65
    Durham Rare Plant Register 2013 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale part of VC65 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MCIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] www.durhamnature.co.uk Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2013, third edition. Improvements in this edition include- An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. New colour coded maps produced from DMAP. This edition is “regionally aligned”, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. Cover picture—Spring Gentian at Widdybank Fell. Introduction Many counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust’s “Recorder" system. We have also had a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, which until 2013 carried out conservation projects to protect the rare species. It is hoped that the “RPR” will act as a stimulus for local botanists to make special efforts to improve the database by recording these species. The register will be used to increase our understanding of the status and distribution of the rare species, and to aid and promote their conservation.
