We believe God wants His Church to grow, and so are looking for gifted and prayerful clergy with a heart for the Gospel and mission, who have the energy and enthusiasm to implement Vision 2026, Healthy Churches Transforming Communities. You can read more about Vision 2026 overleaf. Almost all of our parishes have Vision Champions who have volunteered to work with their clergy and lay leadership in keeping the Vision on the PCC and congregation’s agenda. The Vision is about a radical change of culture, in which we engage in new ways in making the unchanging Gospel of Jesus known in our communities. The spiritual, physical and emotional health and the ongoing development of our clergy is very important to us. Please be assured of my prayers as you consider whether to make an application.

England in Lancashire. +Geoff Pearson + Philip North Bishop of Lancaster Bishop of Burnley ancaster Bishop of Bishop’s House, Ribchester Road, Blackburn, BB1 9EF Tel: 01254 248234 Email: [email protected] Burnley VISION 2026 The year 2026 marks the centenary of the formation of the Diocese of Blackburn. In the ten years leading up to our centenary, Vision 2026 is a plan to turn around the long-term trend of gradually declining attendance. Our vision is for the growth of God’s kingdom, not just of his church. Our vision is to develop healthy churches which transform their communities, a vision in which making disciples for Jesus Christ and pursuing social justice sit side by side. Our vision has had a long gestation. When the Vacancy in See occurred in 2012 we began to look at how we were going to move forward as a diocese. On his arrival, Bishop Julian spent his first year visiting every member of the clergy in their homes and visiting all the parishes of the diocese. At the end of that first year, Bishop Julian shared his reflections and the vision began to become clearer. It was shared with the diocesan family in the deaneries and in a number of local events and unanimously adopted by the diocesan synod. The first year was spent in prayer with the Vision 2026 as the focus. 2016 has seen the Vision develop, with parishes nominating Vision Champions who were commissioned in Preston Guild Hall along with Churchwardens in the presence of 1,600 people. As a diocese with our Vision, we are willing to face the cost of change; and in prayer we see the grace and power of God which can alone bring renewal and growth. We are committed to work together (clergy, laity, church schools, diocesan staff and the cathedral) to deliver Vision 2026 by: Making disciples of Jesus Christ • Knowing the Scriptures better through reading, teaching, preaching and study • Praying with greater depth and urgency for the Kingdom of God to come • Giving generously of our time, talents and money to the cause of Christ Being witnesses to Jesus Christ • Sharing the Gospel of salvation with confidence • Holding regular enquirers courses in as many local churches as possible • Showing God’s love in action through projects that meet a local human need • Offering thorough and accessible Baptism preparation and follow-up • Planting or renewing 50 new strategic congregations by 2026 Growing leaders for Jesus Christ • Supporting and equipping the current leadership for today’s context • Enabling missional leadership in every Christian community • Liberating lay leadership for greater participation • Creating the varied patterns of Sunday and weekday worship necessary to welcome all kinds of people, especially the newcomer • Prioritising work among children, young people and schools to raise up a new generation for Christ The Diocesan Vision Prayer: Heavenly Father, we embrace Your call for us to make disciples, to be witnesses and to grow leaders. Give us the eyes to see Your vision, ears to hear the prompting of Your Spirit and courage to follow in the footsteps of your Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

We are the highest performing, non-selective school in Lancashire and the whole of the North West Region. That means we achieve among the highest GCSE results from 861 comparable schools. We are ranked in the top 50 schools in the country (without a 6th form) by the Sunday Times in their Good Schools Guide. Around 90% of our pupils consistently achieve five GCSE grades at 9-4 (including English and Maths). In 2019, our GCSE results were 83%, this put us in the top 10 of non- selective schools nationally. We teach an academically challenging curriculum, in line with government aspirations for all young people. We have just under 800 pupils aged 11-16, and 88 staff (47 teachers and 41 support staff).

As a Church Of England School we aim to maintain a distinctly Christian ethos while being genuinely welcoming and inclusive. We run a vibrant and diverse extracurricular programme which involves most staff members. We have been told that we are “outstanding” by Ofsted three times – we agree!

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.

    ARCHBISHOP TEMPLE SCHOOL ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS 2022-2023 Making an application Applications for admission to the school for September 2022 should be made on the common application form on the Local Authority’s website- www.lancashire.gov.uk (search for School Admissions,) and also on the school’s own paper supplementary form between 1st September 2021 and 31st October 2021. It is not normally possible to change the order of your preferences for schools after the closing date. Parents/carers must complete the Local Authority application form online. Parents/carers who wish their application to this Church school to be considered against the faith criteria, or their child’s attendance at a Church of England primary school must also complete the supplementary form. If the school is oversubscribed, a failure to complete the supplementary form may result in your application for a place in this school being considered against lower priority criteria as the Governing Body will have no information upon which to assess the worship attendance, or attendance at an affiliated primary school. Letters informing parents/carers whether or not their child has been allocated a place will be sent out by the Local Authority by 1st March 2022. Parents/carers of children not admitted will be offered an alternative place by the Authority.
