  • Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool
    Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool Introduction Lancashire is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for its children and young people. Our aim for all our young people is for them to have the best possible start in life so that all have the opportunity to fulfill their learning potential. Schools and other settings should be safe and orderly places where all children and young people can learn and develop. The consequences of behaviour which challenges others can, if not addressed effectively, impact negatively on individual pupils and groups of pupils. The need for the Local Authority, schools and other partners to work together to address behavioural issues is essential if we are to promote high standards of achievement and attainment for all. The purpose of the Behaviour Support tool is to produce accessible, and accurate information for schools and settings in one place, on sources of training, support and advice led by Lancashire services and clear pathways in relation to meeting pupil's social, emotional and behavioural needs. Aims 1. To develop safe, calm and ordered school environments within which pupils are able to learn and develop and thrive. 2. To develop skills for emotional literacy, positive social relationships and emotional health and well-being among pupils to take into their adult lives beyond school. 3. To Improve capacity within our schools and other settings to include all our pupils including those children and young people who, at times, may present very challenging behaviour, as a result of a variety of factors originating both within the child or young person or resulting from their social environment.

  • Field Day Info 2013
    RED POLL CATTLE SOCIETY Established 1888 1 Nabbott Road, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 2SW 01245 600032 [email protected] www.redpoll.org Field Day – Sunday 21 st July 2013 Mr & Mrs R Clowes invite you to the Field Day at Admergill Hall Farm Gisburn Road Blacko Nelson Lancashire BB9 6LB Tel: 01282 695645 Email: [email protected] Admergill Hall Farm lies in the heart of the Forest of Pendle on the edge of the Pennines, famous for outstanding views and local history. The Pendle Way Public Footpath is right on the doorstep. The farm house is a 16 th century listed building. Richard and Rachael met later in life and moved to Admergill Hall Farm three years ago. Prior to this Richard had spent his life in Dairy farming, milking 160 Brown Swiss cows and Rachael’s background is as an Accident and Emergency Nurse at Airedale General Hospital. The farm consists of a total of 246 acres, half of which is heather moorland with a small grouse population and the remainder permanent grassland with a few acres of amenity woodland. The majority of the farm is currently run on a higher level stewardship scheme. After setting up a suckler herd initially based on a variety of mixed breeds including one or two Pedigree Red Polls, it became quickly apparent that the Red Polls were the perfect breed for what is in essence a low production farm. The Admergill herd now comprising of around 40 breeding cows from various pedigree breeders run with our stock bull Bowland Vincentio to produce quality offspring for the basis of Admergill Red Polls.

  • Pendle Local List of Heritage Assets – Version 2, 27Th January 2021
    Pendle Local List of Heritage Assets – Version 2, 27th January 2021 Trawden Forest Proposed Entries for the List This document has been prepared by a group of parishioners on behalf of Trawden Forest Parish Council. The Trawden Forest Neighbourhood Plan, which was ‘made’ by Pendle Council early in 2019, included a Policy (6) which protects the parish’s Heritage Assets. The principal focus of that Policy is the protection of non-designated heritage assets, and when the Neighbourhood Plan was being developed it was decided that this protection should be achieved by means of a Local List of these assets. The development of a Local List was discussed with Pendle Council in May 2018 and it was agreed that once a comprehensive list of Trawden Forest’s Heritage Assets had been compiled, Pendle would review it and take the proposal through to committee for approval. As early as 2005 Pendle Council intended to set up a Local List for the borough, and one of the steps towards this was the commissioning of a study of Trawden Forest Conservation Area by Friends of Pendle Heritage Archaeological Group. Their report was published in January 2005. That report (An Assessment of the Special Historic and Architectural Interest, Character and Appearance of the Trawden Forest Conservation Area) contained the following paragraph: Pendle Council does not have a formal list of local buildings of interest but intends to draw up a list through the process of surveying its area in partnership with Parish Councils. This is outlined in the Council document Laying Foundations – Built Heritage Strategy.

  • PROGRAMME of EVENTS SEPTEMBER 7–30 2017 Pennine Lancashire Is Shaped by Textiles; They Are Woven Through Its Social and Urban Fabric
    PROGRAMME OF EVENTS SEPTEMBER 7–30 2017 Pennine Lancashire is shaped by textiles; they are woven through its social and urban fabric. By the end of the 19th century the area, stretching along the banks of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, was producing 85% of the world’s cotton goods and it was this global trade that brought thousands of workers to drive its mills over the ensuing centuries, building a creative, industrious and diverse population that shapes the area today. Drawing on this rich heritage, Fabrications is the UK’s first festival that celebrates and explores textiles and the textile industry through the eyes of artists. Taking place in galleries, museums and former textile mills across Blackburn, Hyndburn, Burnley and Pendle throughout September, the festival presents something for everyone with exhibitions, residencies, workshops, a craft fair hosted by Selvedge magazine and major art installations and performances including the premiere of Suzanne Lacy’s film produced with the people of Pendle.
