THE headteacher of a Pendle high school said the school was to remain among the "have-nots" when it came to funding for improvements.

Speaking at the prize-giving evening at the school, Brendan Conboy, head of Saints John Fisher and Thomas More RC High School, in Colne, said the inclusion of three schools in Nelson and Brierfield in Lancashire County Council's bid for funding to transform secondary education in Burnley was good news.

But he said: "The much-wanted phase two, which would see desperately-needed building and refurbishment for our tired and inadequate buildings seems to have disappeared.

"More worryingly, the diocese's grant for major school improvement -- a fund that we were looking towards very hopefully -- has been cut dramatically.

"Once again the promised new money for schools really seems to mean re-distributed money, with Fisher More in danger of staying amongst the have-nots.

"A two-tier system with two shiny new schools with every 21st century facility alongside four schools struggling in out-dated dilapidated buildings would be disastrous."

Mr Conboy urged teachers, parents and governors to put pressure on their local politicians to ensure that all Pendle schools benefit from any future investment.
