  • Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School Admission Policy
    Reviewed: November 2020 Review period: Annual Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School Admission Policy ADMISSIONS POLICY Last reviewed: November 2020, for admission to school in September 2022. As an academy, the Academy Trust of Bacup & Rawtenstall Grammar School (BRGS) is the Admissions Authority. This admissions policy adheres to the requirements and guidelines of the Schools Admissions Code (2014). Our published admission number (PAN) is 180. As a designated Grammar School we are able to select our entire intake on the basis of high academic ability. As such, we do not have to fill all of our places if applicants have not reached the required standard within our selection procedure. The selection procedure is the entrance examination, held on site at the school. Passing the entrance examination is not a guarantee of a place due to the application of our over subscription criteria. Any pupil in his or her last year of primary school and who will have reached the age of 11 years (but not 12 years) by the 31st of August in the year of entry, is eligible to sit. Where a child does not meet these age criteria but there is a request for admission out of the normal age group parents should contact school directly to discuss the particular circumstances (School Admissions Code 2014, section 2.17). The structure of the entrance examination will be published in our entrance examination guide to parents (“The Blue Book”) by the beginning of the summer term each year. The admissions authority determines that Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School is established primarily for the education of children attending Rossendale schools.

  • English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England
    Trish Bater 080207052 ‘Blacking Up’: English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions about Black People in England Submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy by Patricia Bater National Centre for English Cultural Tradition March 2013 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.

Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

  • CLOUGHFOLD Formerly a Large Manufacturing Village In
    CLOUGHFOLD formerly a large manufacturing village in the parish of Newchurch, was formed into a separate ecclesiastical district Marcy 26, 1887, from the new parishes of Rawtenstall and St James' Waterfoot, and part of the parochial chapelry of Newchurch, in Rossendale, and is now included in the municipal borough and civil parish of Rawtenstall; it is in the county court district of Bacup, a station on the East Lancashire section of the London, Midland and Scottish railway. The church of St John, erected in 1890, at a cost of £5,000, is a building of stone in the Gothic style of the late 14th century, consisting of chancel, cloistered nave of five bays, transept, e.t.c. and south porch, and the base of a tower: there are 450 sittings. The register dates from 1880. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £210, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Manchester, and held since 1902 by the Rev Charles Merchant, MA of Worcester College, Oxford. The Baptist Chapel, built in 1657 and subsequently enlarged in 1838 and 1853, cost upwards of £2,000. Dr Isaac Watts, the well known author of "Psalms and Hymns" and of various songs and hymns for children, was sometime minister here. There are also Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist chapels. The works of the Rossendale Gas Company are in this village. The population of the ecclesiastical district in 1911 was 3,110. NEWCHURCH-IN-ROSSENDALE now included within the municipal borough of Rawtenstall, is a village on the old high road from Burnley to Manchester, 3 1/2 miles east from Haslingden.

  • Musical EV'ents at B,R.G.S. 1986-87
    Musical EV'ents at B,R.G.S. 1986-87 This year has seen the establishment of regular lunchtime rehearsals in the music department and now, musical sounds emanate from Room 57 each day of the week between 12.20 and 12.55. The various musical grbups have per- formed on several occasions during the year with great success. The Christmas term culminated in a Carol Service in the school hall on the evening of 18th December. The Senior Choir, d~rected by Mr. Wild, and the Junior Boys Choir and Junior Girls Choir, directed by Mr. Moon and ac- companied by Simon Parker, U6, sang carols interspersed by a sequence of readings devised and prepared by Mr. Phillips, Head of English. The orches- tra performed David Stone's Nocturne as a prelude to the service. The Senior Choir's carols included a lively arrangement of King Jesus Bath a Garden by John Rutter and the Junior Choirs sang a carol sequence entitled The Road to Bethlehem. During the course of the Easter term Mr. Moon and Mrs. Mathe~ collabor- ated in a piece of music theatre entitled A Temporary Diversion 0r The Monu- mental, Photographic and Zoological Umbrella Sho~. This involved over 70 pupils who were transformed into: a Circus; Tourists; Workmen; a Town Band; and a Guild of Umbrella Makers. The plot revolved around the con- struction of a mysterious edifice in a town square and the speculation as to its use. The costumes and scenery provided plenty of spectacle and the exotic Umbrellas of the Guild and various Circus acts were particular im- pressive.

  • Old Roads of Rawtenstall
    History of Old Roads: Rawtenstall and District By Councillor John Hargreaves Of Waterside House Cloughfold. Introduction Having talked with many old people aBout the old-time roads in Rawtenstall and district of 200 years ago, one sees a great change. There was not at that time the Bury and Burnley Road, nor the Haslingden and Bacup Road. Travelling in those days was through narrow roadways commonly called lanes or Bridlepaths. The road from Rawtenstall to Manchester was up Lomas Lane through Balladen and over Horncliffe. The old highways and bridlepaths of those days we find broken through in places By new improved roads. The Bury and Burnley highway was built in 1801 and the Haslingden and Bacup road was built in 1826. Before those days the old highways and Bridlepaths went along the river sides, or up over the hills, the reason, no doubt, being to keep the roads clear of water. J.H. Part 1 Beginning at Lomas Lane, crossing Bury Road where it as Been very much raised, went down to the river Irwell and along the side of the river to Newhallhey Bridge, where the road has been raised considerably to build the present bridge. Also the Railway Tavern stands on ground where the old road went into Longholme continuing By the river, and passing Longholme mill to a point where the river Limy joins the river Irwell, which was crossed possiBly By a wooden Bridge. No douBt there would Be many such Bridges in the district at that time. This was the old Newhallhey Bridge, the repairs of which are mentioned in history.
