The catchment area for children coming into school is Broughton Moor and the children continue on to Maryport for secondary school. The School day runs from 8.50 am to 3.15 pm with after school clubs running to 4.30pm Extra curricular clubs that use the school include: Football, Cricket, Dance, Cheerleading and Bowling – these are community activities. There are bus services serving the village – they are very infrequent and not convenient for use for this school as does not run on school route (No 35 and No 58). The nearest bus stop is across the road from school. (timetables are included in appendix ) There are no cycle routes in the village and the children walk in from the residential areas which surround the school. The nearest train Stations are Maryport or Flimby. Each station is miles from school and there is no connecting bus service. The school has a Sports Hall and Playgrounds for Infants and Juniors. There are two entrances both of which are pedestrian only. One access is for community use. There is no staff/visitor car park and we do not have a crossing patrol but we are actively trying to recruit one. 3 Location map 4 ,ims This Travel Plan specifically aims at reducing car journeys to and from school, and reducing/preventing casualties on these journeys. o To safely reduce the number of people who travel to school by car in favour of using more sustainable modes of transport. (Objectives 4,5,6) o To increase travelling to school on foot and cycle. (Objectives 4,5,6) o To improve pupils health and fitness levels. (Objectives 1,4,5,6) o To improve road and personal safety awareness (Objectives 2,5,6,7) o To reduce congestion and traffic danger around the school (Objective 3) Objectives To achieve these aims we set up and maintain a school travel plan working party group and set out to: 1. To increase health awareness and physical education (7.5) 2. To include healthy travel issues into the curriculum eg safe route planning in geography, teach pupils how to read public transport timetables, do surveys in ICT on how pupils and parents travel to school. (7.1) 3. To reduce traffic and pollution around the school (7.2) 4. To increase walking and cycling facilities (7.2) 5. Provide cycle training (7.1) 6. Provide pedestrian training (7.1) 7. Promote the school travel plan in assemblies and include in school prospectus.

Route plotting exercise with year 4 and 5- the pupils plot 2 their route to school on a map highlighting crossing points, factors about the journey to school they consider to be dangerous and mode choice. Staff The staff also completed the online survey which Autumn 1 determines the mode of travel used by staff to get to Term school. Parents Details of the travel plan were included in the school Autumn newsletter which was sent out to all parents. Term A questionnaire survey was sent out to all parents to gain 3/4 their opinion on the journey to school.

The only other mode used to get to school is the car. The school intends to further encourage cycling. There are two pupils out of catchment whose parents live outside of the village who travel by car. Parents were sent a survey to gain their views on the journey to school. The main concern expressed by parents is in regards to the speed of drivers. They believe drivers speed along the road and with no school crossing patrol officer it is dangerous to cross the road. Speed is an issue and has been discussed with Police and Parish Council. Speed has been monitored on a number of occasions by the police. Route Plotting Data Route Plotting Year Date of route plotting Year Groups No. of pupils 2008/09 9th June 2008 Years 4/5 14 Route Plotting Notes (e.g. comments made by pupils / any results found) Whilst the children were completing their route plotting they were asked to comment on their journey to school. The children said they liked to walk to school as it is fun and good exercise, but they said they would like to cycle but there is no where safe to store them. Notes 98% of the children live in the village. 2% travel from outside the village by car, from Dearham and Flimby. 3.3% of pupils are SEN but this has no impact on travel habits/modes. 7 4 Summary of transport and road safety problems Current problems on routes to school, and reasons preventing sustainable travel to school, including how these problems have been identified and when. The current problems on the route to our school are: • Speeding motorists past school (Parent survey) • No crossing patrol (parent survey) • Zig Zag lines outside the school are in the wrong place (working party meeting) • No safety barrier where pupils exit the school (working party meeting) • Bad parking by parents (working party) Nothing to stop pupils walking to school but there are no storage facilities for bikes. Staff parking causes some issues with local residents. There is no staff car park and they have to park on the roadside. As above, all visitors have to park on the roadside. If we are taking the pupils on trips during the school day we have to hire a bus, or if small numbers rely on the goodwill of parents. ‘What we already do’, for example curriculum activities/WOW/road safety policy Road Safety is covered as a topic in PHSE Cycle and pedestrian awareness is covered as part of the curriculum Positive approach to walking and cycling which is encouraged and incorporated into the PE Curriculum. 8 5 W orking party recommendations for action • To provide Cycle Training for year 5 and 6 (7.1) • To provide Pedestrian training for years 2, 3 and 4 (7.1) • Advertise for a crossing patrol (7.1) • To purchase cycle pods/storage shed (7.2) • Playground markings and resources to teach pedestrian safety and awareness (7.1) • To relocate a safety barrier outside school entrances (7.3) • To extend the zig zag markings to prevent parking (7.3) The issue of speeding past the school has been targeted in this plan by measures to improve safety of the pupils through training and the recruitment of a crossing patrol. 6 Targets – specific % targets for modal shift by yearly review date Year 2008 Mode of Travel Baseline Data i.e. original survey % Target percentage for following year Bus 0 0 Car/Van/taxi 32 20 Car share 0 0 Cycle 0 12 Rail 0 0 Walk 68 68 Notes A variety of measures will be implemented to achieve these targets.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • Broughton Moor
    Cumbria County Council Highways and Transport Economy and Infrastructure Directorate Joseph Noble Road Lillyhall Workington CA14 4JH T: 01946 506550 F: 01946 506537 E: [email protected] ALLERDALE SPEED LIMIT REVIEW: BROUGHTON MOOR Site description and overview: Broughton Moor is a sizeable village situated approximately 2.5 miles south east of Maryport, and is served by a number of small businesses and a primary school. The village is subject to a 30mph limit; however it has been highlighted that the limit extends slightly too far to the east and the west. The same applies on the southern approach – the 30mph limit extends too far out – however it is noted that there are a number of outlying properties on the outskirts of the village, that need to be considered. Existing traffic conditions: Recorded average speeds are 34 and 35 mph on the eastern and western approaches respectively, both with 85th percentile speeds of 40mph. On the southern approach, average speeds were recorded at 37mph with an 85th percentile value of 43mph. There is no recorded history of serious collisions. Proposed changes to the speed limit: To reposition the extents of the 30mph speed limit on the eastern and western approaches so they are more aligned with the built-up area. On the southern approach, the 30mph limit will also be relocated closer to the built-up area; however it is proposed that a 40mph “buffer” will be added for a distance of 370 metres. Summary of reasons for proposed change: The recorded average speeds indicate that the 30mph limit extends too far beyond the built-up area.

  • An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment and Walk Over Survey of RNAD Broughton Moor, Cumbria
    BMM 01 An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment and Walk Over Survey of RNAD Broughton Moor, Cumbria Client: Allerdale Borough Council Richard Conolly November 2001 CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Site Location and Description 3 Objectives 4 Methods 5 Results 6 Discussion 7 Recommendations 8 Acknowledgements Appendix 1: Sources Consulted Appendix 2: Gazetteer and Concordance Appendix 3: Photographic Register Summary Headland Archaeology Ltd were commissioned to undertake an archaeological assessment of the now decommissioned Royal Naval Armaments Depot, Broughton Moor, Cumbria, as part of a feasibility study being carried out for Allerdale Borough Council. The assessment identified a total of twenty-four sites in and around the depot. Most of these date to the 19th Century or later and relate to mines that occupied the site before the construction of the depot in 1938. Earlier land use is represented by the presence of a medieval field system and areas of ridge and furrow. A possible artificial mound was also identified. The depot itself has been extensively recorded by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England. The mining sites and field system have been recorded by the Ordnance Survey. Therefore no further work is recommended for these sites. In the event of the possible mound being threatened by development then further work is recommended. 1 INTRODUCTION This report details the results of an archaeological assessment, comprising a desk based assessment and site walk-over, of the former Royal Navy Armaments Depot (RNAD) at Broughton Moor, Cumbria. The work was undertaken on behalf of Allerdale Borough Council as part of a feasibility study on possible future development.

FOR CHILDREN IN NEED After being a Headteacher for 14 years, including five at Cockermouth School, Mr Walker is retiring from his post in December. During his time here he has made a great impact and his enthusiasm for education and commitment to the school have been appreciated by students and staff alike. Mr Walker was Deputy Head Boy during his own time at secondary school so it could be said that he got his first taste of school leadership early on! We interviewed Mr Walker to find out how he feels about retiring. How do you feel to be leaving Cockermouth School? Sad.
