Welcome to the final edition of our

newsletter for the academic year. It has

been a busy but productive and rewarding

end to the school year. We have enjoyed

celebrating the wide variety of skills,

attributes and successes of our pupils as

the term has come to an end and this

newsletter summarises well the things that

make us so proud as a school. Please also

have a read of our additional newsletter

produced during Be-U week, The Daily

Bowland, which can be found on the

school’s website. This was put together by a team of pupils under the

guidance of Mrs Lancaster. What they have produced is very professional

and comprehensive of activities that took place; I hope you enjoy

reading it.

The summer term is packed with special events such as sports day and

the prom, and there are many achievements to celebrate; so I’m sure

you will enjoy the information in this newsletter as well.

After another packed and successful year at Bowland, I want to thank

everybody who has contributed to the life and work of the school in any

way. Most significantly I am extremely grateful to my colleagues on the

staff, who have gone above and beyond as always to provide the range

of experiences you read about in both newsletters. This is without losing

sight of our core role of providing the best opportunities for pupils to

make excellent progress in their learning.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the PTFA this year through

working on events, attending meetings and supporting the events they

have run. This support is invaluable and I am indebted to our PTFA

Committee for all of their hard work.

Finally, thank you to all of our parents and carers for your support of the

school and your children during the last year. I hope you all have an

enjoyable summer and look forward to seeing people on GCSE results

day or when we reopen on Wednesday 4th September.

Work Experience for Jasmine

Jasmine spent a week at Bowland on work experience. In her

own words she describes her time here.

‘Each day I helped out in a different department. On Monday

I was in the science department where I had an exciting

morning setting up various experiments and even making

acid. I spent Tuesday with the P.E. department and enjoyed

my day scoring and playing in rounders matches. As the week

went on I spent time in performing arts, English and the MFL

departments. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here but the

highlights of the week for me were playing rounders with the

Year 10’s and putting up a display board in English.

Thank you to everybody for making me feel welcome, I really

enjoyed my week.’

Bowland’s 70th Anniversary

Celebrations

Bowland celebrated its 70th year as a High school

this year. On Saturday June 15th we opened our

doors to pupils and staff, past and present to help

us celebrate this milestone. It was wonderful to see

some old faces, dating back as far as pupils who

attended in 1954!

Our PTFA baked and served cream teas whilst

pupils and our food department made wonderful

cakes and traybakes to sell for the occasion. The

hall looked amazing and our current pupils did a

wonderful job of giving guided tours around the

school and answering the plethora of questions

from old pupils about the changes.

We invited former headteachers and staff to be

interviewed about their time at Bowland, their

fondest memories and what has changed about the

school. We now have a recorded memory for future

celebrations and to track the changes that have

taken place.

This was an excellent opportunity for us to open our

new gym and Mrs Connelly, wife of the former

footballer John Connelly (20Caps for England),

made a guest appearance to formally do this for us.

The whole afternoon was a lovely event, with pupils

from Year 10 entertaining guests as they enjoyed

their afternoon teas. Mr Nicholson, son of the first

ever headteacher, brought some lovely memories of

his time living at the school and we now, thanks to

his generosity, have two more trophies for

outstanding contribution to the school that have

been added to our collection.

Meeka Sings at the Waddington

Duck Race

Meeka and her band ‘The Rise’ were

invited to perform at the Waddington

Arms recently for the Waddington Duck

Race.

‘The Rise’ are performing at different

events in and around Clitheroe. They like

singing Punk, Indie and Pop music.

They had some lovely compliments from

the crowd.

Let’s Do Moor

An exciting opportunity saw the year 8 future BTEC pupils accepting an invite to an open day at the

Abbeystead estate.

During the day the pupils experienced the role of gamekeepers, the police and fire service, who all have

different responsibilities in these upland areas.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the plucking of some carefully selected game birds, which

when cooked produced some excellent and tasty free samples for the pupils and staff to sample.

Year 7 Enterprise Day

Year 7 were challenged to write and produce a

book for pre-schoolers as part of our school

enterprise programme.

Pupils worked in teams to develop an idea and

write the story. They then split into groups to

produce the book, create a soft toy and an

educational toy out of wood.

Pupils presented their ideas and the books will be

taken to Ribblesdale Nursery for the children to

enjoy and decide on their favourite!

It was a fantastic day where pupils developed a

range of skills including teamwork, resilience,

compromise and time-management.

Group 1 won the competition, shown below.

Year 8 Geography Day Year 8 have been building models of the coast and the results are spectacular.

The aim of the day was for the pupils to put what they have been learning in lessons to an actual case

study. They mapped and built coastal features of Dorset, specifically Sandbanks and Swanage.

They started by watching drone footage of the coastal area to gain an aerial perspective and then they

set out to build a 3D model of the coastline.

George is Chosen for the Rotary

Youth Leadership Award

George, a recent Year 11 leaver was selected to go on the Rotary Youth Leadership Award

(RYLA) in Grange Over Sands.

RYLA events are for young people aged 16 to 17 years, who are about to start their working lives or to

enter higher education, and who have shown leadership potential and are likely, as adults, to become

future leaders. Students are put into mixed groups of complementary ability where they take part in

outdoor activities. They are placed in challenging situations to help develop leadership and team bonding

skills and to increase personal confidence.

This is George’s story.

I was a little anxious in the run up to it as it was a week away and I didn’t know anybody else on the

course.

I needn’t have worried as once we had all arrived we started with some ice-breaker games, so we all got

to know each other and then took part in activities such as Jacob’s ladder and canoeing.

We learnt about different styles of leadership and how they can affect a team’s efficiency, and then

planned our charity car wash. We raised £230, washing cars in Windemere for the Shelter Box and

Mountain Rescue charities. We went on an expedition to the top of Coniston Old Man, one of the highest

mountains in England, and wild camped overnight. The week finished with a formal dinner and a

presentation about our week. It was an unforgettable experience and I have made some lifelong friends.

I’m really grateful to Bowland staff for putting my name forward and to the Rotary Club for sponsoring

the week for me. I’d thoroughly recommend it to any pupils who are given the opportunity next year.

Duke of Edinburgh Expedition

'The expedition programme this year has produced two extremely contrasting challenges for the pupils.

Whereas our practice expedition around Clitheroe and the surrounding area produced some of the most

prolonged and intensive rainfall the D of E have ever seen, the qualifying expedition produced the polar

opposite.

Looking out across the valley the early morning cloud cover soon began to burn off and the

temperatures started to rise as the groups set off for their ascent to Tosside. With a difficult start

including some unmarked footpaths, the groups needed all their resilience in order to be rewarded with

a successful arrival at Hartley's Farm Campsite.

A packed campsite, including a marquee of entertainment provided by a visiting Rugby club meant the

evening went long into the night. Saturday morning started early with a cool breeze which once again

soon gave way to scorching temperatures. The tired, hot but dedicated pupils completed the expedition

and quickly packed away ready for a cool drink. The teachers and staff's cool drink was probably a little

stronger than the pupils but no less deserved.'
