Recently, the Executive Headeacher at St Cuthbert’s and Fountains Earth has announced that she is leaving her current post with effect from Easter 2021. In light of this, we are now looking at forming a federation of three schools (Glasshouses, St Cuthbert’s and Fountains Earth), which will hopefully take place either in September 2021 or January 2022. Following discussion between governors at all schools, and working closely with the Local Authority, I am delighted to announce that as from January, Nicola Thornber will begin a handover process with the outgoing head at St Cuthbert’s/Fountains Earth, and on Monday 12th April she will become acting head of all three schools; St Cuthbert’s and Fountains Earth Federation and Glasshouses. Once the federation formally takes place, she will become permanent head of the federation. This is great news for Glasshouses School - it reflects the hard work and success that Miss Thornber has achieved during her time as headteacher here. Further communication will be shared with parents in due course regarding this, together with information about how the changes will impact Glasshouses School from January, when the handover process will commence.

    Moorlands: People, Places, Stories Exploring People’S Experiences of the Upper Nidderdale Moorland Through Time

    Moorlands: People, Places, Stories Exploring people’s experiences of the Upper Nidderdale moorland through time What do the moorlands mean to you? (from top left: S Wilson, I Whittaker, A Sijpesteijn, Nidderdale AONB, H Jones, I Whittaker; centre: D Powell, Adrian Bury Associates) Sharing stories – listening to the past Everyone, young and old, has a story to tell; unique memories and experiences that would otherwise be lost over time. These personal accounts reveal much about the history of the moorlands, a personal history that is not written down. Here we have an opportunity to preserve our moorland heritage by capturing aspects of history and experiences that would otherwise be lost, and to look at the landscape through different eyes. Guidance Sheet A (V1) Why the moorlands? The moorlands have been influenced by humans over thousands of years, with successive generations finding different ways to exploit the area’s rich resources, leaving their mark as clues for future generations. We hope that the project will help capture the character of the moorland landscape and of the people that live, work, and enjoy them. Join the team Moorlands: People, Places, Stories will be delivered by a newly formed volunteer group. Training will be provided and the team will be supported by Louise Brown (Historic Nidderdale Project Officer), oral history consultant Dr Robert Light, and landscape archaeologist Dr Jonathan Finch from the University of York. It is hoped that documents and photographs shared by interviewees might spark interest in carrying out some additional research. There will be the opportunity for those that are interested to become affiliated to the University of York in order to access online resources, as well as being able to access the archives held by Nidderdale Museum and at North Yorkshire County Council.

    The Nidderdale Way Yorkshire Dale and Moor

    The Nidderdale Way Yorkshire Dale and Moor from www.weekwalks.co.uk/walks.htm, which also links to a photo album This is a lovely introduction to the Yorkshire Dales and Moors. It’s essentially a figure of eight centred around Pateley Bridge - wilder to the north and west, gentler to the south and east. (You could do just the top or bottom bits.) 1. Walking days and practicalities The excellent website www.uppernidderdale.org.uk divides the walk into four stages, with detailed downloadable PDF instructions for each. Three of them are 14 miles, a bit long for us, so we modified them, and took 5 days in all. 2. Getting there and away From London, train (King’s Cross) to Harrogate via Leeds, bus 24 from the bus station (right next door) every half- hour to Pateley Bridge. Or car to Pateley Bridge. 3. Navigation The waymarking is good but not infallible; ditto the PDFs; so we suggest you have OS Explorer 298 for those uncertain moments, and also for the shortcut we took. 4.The Route Stage 1, Pateley Bridge to Middlemoor: This is 14 miles with a number of climbs, so we walked to Wath (two miles) the day before and stayed at the up-market Sportsman’s Arms. Next time we would get an earlier train and walk for four hours to The Crown Hotel in Lofthouse, to get as near an authentic Nidderdale experience as a tourist can have. Then there is plenty of time the next day to explore the upper valley. The final walk to Middlesmoor (and another delightful Crown Hotel) is easy.
