BRIGG PARENTS: DON'T MISS THE DEADLINE

Parents of young children in Brigg and district need to act now if they have not already registered their youngsters for primary school places through North Lincolnshire Council, the local education authority.
The deadline for applications is January 15, 2022 and the registration session is aimed at children who are due to start school this September.
North Lincolnshire Council says: "Starting school can be an anxious time for families, so the applications process has been made as straightforward as possible.
"If your child was born between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018 you must apply for their school place before 15 January 2022.
"There is only a short period of time left to make your application and parents that don’t apply could miss out on a school place at their preferred school."

Pictured above are Brigg Primary School, on Atherton Way, St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School, Grammar School Road, and a class of new starters at Glebe Road School in 1960. They are lined up outside primary classrooms that have since been demolished. Some of the pupils still live locally. Many of these youngsters will have become parents and then grandparents.
Their mums and dads more than 60 years ago would have applied for pupil places using pen and paper (sending forms through the post) or might perhaps have called in at the school office to see the secretary and make applications in person.
Reg Stocks was then the headmaster, and the Ancholme Inn was built nearby on Grammar School Road about the time this class picture was taken. It has now gone, with a housing development established on the site.
Glebe Road School had been established in 1929 by Lincoln-based Lindsey County Council, through its Education Committee. However, the new millennium saw North Lincolnshire Council introduce a new facility off Atherton Way, with housing later being built on the Glebe Road site.
Humberside County Council (1974-1996) earmarked land off York Road for Brigg's new primary school but failed to bring the scheme to fruition. So the grass 'field' has remained public open space, latterly having dozens of saplings planted in three groups as part of a 'green' initiative to provide trees for the future.
Long-serving teacher John Holland produced a fine book as a tribute to Glebe Road School/Brigg County Primary. Details here...
