Some of these head teachers have an overdeveloped sense of grandour:rolleyes:
This is to be a learning establishment and will not be competing in the architectural design of the year award - or will it:rolleyes:

re: Planning Applications
 

Can see the argument about traffic - but it would be nice if we had somewhere in
hyndburn for our 'a' level students rather than blackburn.

re: Planning Applications
 

There is a 6th form opening next month at Accrington Academy - so there will be somewhere of 'a' level students in Hyndburn.

This is a link to the school travel plan produced in November 2007

http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/corpora...c.asp?id=42143

This shows how pupils travel to school and how many buses etc there are.

re: Planning Applications
 

There will only be `125 places in the new 6th form due for sept 09 - mostly taken from
those on roll from accrington academy itself. I look forward to more choice for other schools when my younger son gets to end year 11. I agree though the traffic wd be as bad as most other schools

re: Planning Applications
 

But traffic is even worse on this road, because it is a major route to the motor way and the fact that so many pupil travel from outside of Hyndburn to the school. If you read the Travel Plan you will see just how many buses there are and the are that they serve. It was also highlighted in the Travel Plan that there is currently not enough car parking spaces for the members of staff at the school, the plans will only extend the car parking by 13 places.

Also the new building will completely overshadow the house opposite.

I do support more 6th Form provision for the children of Hyndburn, (we should not be creating an educational establishment for the children of Burnley and Pendle) but there needs to be a proper evaluation of the impact that it will have on the surrounding community.

Out of interest, which school does your son attend?

re: Planning Applications
 

Yes - see what you mean. Son is at mount carmel - daughter just left so bus to
st marys each day (£380 for the year !)

re: Planning Applications
 

I do agree that it is a problem for Hyndburn children having to go outside the borough for 6th Form education. Can you not get any help towards her bus fares?

re: Planning Applications
 

Why was there no fuss when Accrington Academy were planning their 6th form, yet there is a lot of opposition to the St Christopher's one? :confused:

re: Planning Applications
 

This is just fuss on planning application Lilly, not the ethics.

Not sure, but would think the curriculum for Accrington Academy will be limited.

Re: the final item, above.

Do we really need yet another takeaway? More junk food, more rubbish on the pavement, more obesity, more food poisoning. I wonder if Hyndburn BC will now be among some of our more enlightened local authorities and adopting a policy of a blanket refusal for all new junk food establishments.
