Maria Williams is delighted that 66% of students achieved five or more A* to C including English and Maths proving that the school continues to go from strength to strength. The school’s relentless focus on challenge and high expectations has resulted in 15% of students achieving A/A*, more than double the national average. Furthermore, the percentage of students making more than expected progress is well above the national average in maths whilst closing the gap for disadvantaged pu- pils. 73% of students attained a grade A*-C in both maths and English, despite turbulence in English results nationally. A2 results were also pleasing and all students were able to progress to their chosen destination in higher education or employment. Maria Williams, previously Deputy Head at the school, has been part of the Sherburn team responsible for the transformation of the school. She is keen to develop school facilities and is working closely with the local community to improve sports facilities. Mrs Williams commented, “This September, the school welcomed its largest cohort of year 7 students in over 5 years, demonstrating the growing confidence of the local communi- ty. Parents are making Sherburn High School their first choice and this tells us we are getting things right and parents in the local area are responding.” The school works closely with primary feeder schools, (Athelstan, Hungate, Barkston Ash, Monk Fryston, Kirk Fenton, Brotherton and Byram, Kellington, Saxton, Burton Salmon, Fairburn, South Milford) as part of the STAR Alliance, sharing teaching and learning training opportunities. “We are looking forward to Ofsted this year as we are confident that it will be a positive experience and they will confirm the excellent practice that is going on in the school.

  • Candidates Yorkshire Region
    Page | 1 LIBERAL/LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES IN THE YORKSHIRE AND HUMBERSIDE REGION 1945-2015 Constituencies in the county of Yorkshire (excluding Cleveland and Teesside) INCLUDING SDP CANDIDATES in the GENERAL ELECTIONS of 1983 and 1987 PREFACE A number of difficulties have been encountered in compiling this Index which have not been resolved in an entirely satisfactory manner. Local government boundary changes in the early 1970s led to the creation of the Cleveland and HuMberside Counties. Cleveland and adjacent constituencies have been included in the Index for the North East Region. HuMberside constituencies coMMencing with the General Election of February 1974 are included in the Yorkshire Region. The region has been home to an impressive gallery of party personalities, several of whoM receive extended entries. The spirited independence with respect to LPO HQ in London which the Yorkshire Regional Party has often shown, and the relatively strong direction it has exerted over its constituency associations, would account for the formidable challenge maintained in the Region at successive general elections, even in the direst years of party fortunes. Yorkshire appears to have been rather less willing in 1950 to heed to the dictates of the Martell Plan (see article below) than other regions. Even so, until the 1970s there were several Labour-held Mining and industrial constituencies where the Party declined to fight. InforMation on Many candidates reMains sparse. SDP candidates particularly, over 1983-87, seem to have been an anonyMous battalion indeed, few if any of them leaving a Mark on any field of huMan endeavour. 1 Page | 2 THE MARTELL PLAN The Martell Plan, mentioned in passing throughout the regional directories was the electoral strategy adopted by the Liberal Party for the General Election of 1950.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.

  • COPD Dashboard
    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Primary Care Trust Summary: NHS North Yorkshire and York Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) describes a group of conditions which include emphysema and chronic bronchitis. 100,000 people in Yorkshire and the Humber, or 1.9% of the population, are diagnosed with COPD. However, there are an estimated 177,000 people with COPD, suggesting that 43% of people with the disease are not currently diagnosed. COPD is the fifth largest killer disease in England. In Yorkshire and the Humber more people die from COPD (31.1 per 100,000) than from colorectal cancer (17.4 per 100,000) or chronic liver disease (10.4 per 100,000). A progressive illness, COPD is disabling and the number of people dying as a result of COPD increases with age. The direct cost of COPD to the health system in Yorkshire and the Humber is £77m: or an average of £5m a year for every PCT. The broader economic cost of COPD has been put at £3.8 billion for lost productivity in the UK economy as a whole. 25% of people with COPD are prevented from working due to the disease with at least 20 million lost working days a year among men and 3.5 million lost days among women every year. A recent national audit showed that readmission rates in Yorkshire were 32% and that the average length of stay a day longer than the national average (Yorkshire 6 days, England 5 days). The information below summarises key indicators relating to the prevalence, care and outcomes for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) within NHS North Yorkshire and York PCT.

ES2 National planning guidance requires local planning authorities to understand the geography of the housing market, and imposes a Duty to Co-operate where the HMAs span several Plan boundaries and so raise strategic issues.
