Students who are in Year 11 will start to complete their application forms on the December enrichment day and therefore need to be aware of all the options and courses available in order to make an informed decision. It is beneficial for those students in year 10 to attend these events so that they too can explore the courses and gain an early insight into the options available once they leave school.

  • 5. Network Planning for Walking
    Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5. Network Planning for Walking The future walking network has been derived through identifying those areas which would benefit from creating a sustainable link between trip origins and trip destinations within a reasonable walking distance of approximately 2km. Trip origins predominantly include densely populated residential areas and trip destinations include educational, employment and retail areas which are likely to attract a significant number of trips. As part of this process, funnel routes have been identified which incorporate the route which most pedestrians will follow to access a particular destination, however given the diverse nature of pedestrian movements, the routes do not extend into particular destinations since the route of each individual user will vary depending on their individual trip origin/end. In alignment with LCWIP guidance, Core Walking Zones have also been identified from identifying the area within each town which encompasses the greatest amount of trip attractors and therefore likely the generate the greatest levels of walking. The Four Core Walking Zones (CWZ) identified are: • Preston CWZ; • Lostock Hall CWZ; • Leyland CWZ; and • Chorley CWZ. 41 Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5.1 Proposed Walking Routes 5.1.1 Preston Core Walking Zone Figure 5-1 Preston CWZ / Funnel Routes The Preston CWZ proposals will improve facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists alike, making it safer and easier to access Preston inner city centre, UCLAN, Cardinal Newman College, and transport hubs such as Preston Railway and Bus Stations. Measures predominantly involve pedestrian priority / informal streets, to improve the safety and accessibility of the town centre for pedestrians.

Hughes Mr S.E. Mann Mr C. McDermott Sir Brian Pearse Mr J. Granby Arkwright Scholarship time has passed, so there is no doubt that the candle is lit. The solution then moves back to its original position below the table. To extinguish the candle, the device is again switched on. However, when reaching the top of the candle a heat sensor triggers Carbon Dioxide to be expelled through the same hole as the Natural Gas. The two gases will not mix due to the fact Carbon Dioxide is "heavier" than air, and Natural Gas is "lighter" than air. This results in the flame being extinguished and the solution is ready to begin its cycle again. The questions were set by Professor Heinz Wolff, whom teachers and former pupils will remember as the master of ceremonies in the television programme "The Great Egg Race", he also intended to be one of the Mark Ramsdale interviewing panellists for anyone who reached the y first encounter with the Arkwright interview stage. Unfortunately, he was showing Scholarship began in the classroom when my Princess Anne around Loughborough on the day so M form teacher, Mr Quarmby, Head of the could not sit on the panel!

  • PROUD Balshaw's CE High School Parent and Leyland-Based
    PROUD Balshaw's CE High School parent and Leyland-based freelance writer Malcolm Wyatt was invited along to help advise the teams and judge the projects at July 11's South Ribble area AGT event. Here's what he made of the challenge. I DON'T think I'm talking out of turn when I let on that my fellow judge at the Balshaw's-hosted year seven and eight able, gifted and talented (AGT) day confided - as our big announcement loomed - this was the hardest decision she'd ever had to make. Nicola Moulden, an English teacher at Runshaw College, and myself were about to reveal - doing our best to avoid any unnecessary X Factor/Apprentice style build-up - the winners of the spring term's Super Learning event. There were two teams from Balshaw's alone, plus similarly fantastic groups representing Hutton Grammar School, Lostock Hall Academy, and Leyland’s St Mary's Catholic Technology College and Worden Sports College. And believe me, it was no easy task to pick a winner. The level of competition was amazing, and each school involved can be rightly proud of the pupils that represented them, for their courtesy as well as their creative endeavours. The idea, devised by Balshaw's head of English, Mr Purnell, was to write an 800 to 1,000 word story aimed at six to seven-year-old boys and girls, about a family day-trip to a theme park. On the journey there is a problem, and at the park a child goes missing. The teams were also asked to design a front and back cover and poster to advertise the book, and produce a script for a radio advert.

This is the product of several months of consultation with staff, managers, governors, employers, partner high schools, civic partners and the wider community. The words in this document are the words of all those stakeholders, and everyone’s contribution is very much appreciated. The document sets out Runshaw’s over-arching key strategic priorities for the 3-year period from 2021 to 2024. It also outlines the specific objectives for the first year of this plan (2021-22). Thank you for taking the time to read and contribute to this document. I look forward to working with you as we achieve these ambitious plans! Clare Russell Principal & CEO The changes in the world around us and the direct and indirect impact this is having on society and the College means it was right and proper for us to re-look at the way we build our strategic plans and ensure we had a strategy fit for purpose and the future of the local environment and all our stakeholders.
