Riverside School RIVERSIDE SCHOOL PROPOSED CHANGE OF THE SCHOOL’S SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS CHARACTERISTICS East Riding of Yorkshire Council is proposing to change the type of need catered for at Riverside School to support children with severe and complex needs. Local Authority Details Pupil Services Children, Families and Schools East Riding of Yorkshire Council County Hall Cross Street Beverley East Riding of Yorkshire HU17 9BA School Details Riverside School is a Community Special School and the school address is: Riverside School Ainsty Street Goole East Riding of Yorkshire DN14 5JS Description of Alteration and Evidence of Demand East Riding of Yorkshire Council is proposing to change the type of need catered for at the school. The school is currently registered to cater for pupils with the following special educational needs:- SEN Priority 1 – Moderate Learning Difficulty SEN Priority 2 – Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Speech, Language and Communication The proposed special educational needs provision at the school would be for pupils with severe and complex learning needs. East Riding of Yorkshire currently has three special schools that cater for the learning needs of a range of children and young people; between them they admit those with severe, complex and moderate learning difficulties, details of the three schools are below. Capacity in the three special schools proves less than demand and as a result, year on year we have many children and young people placed in special provision administered by neighbouring local authorities including Kingston Upon Hull and North Yorkshire, and a further group that attend schools in the independent and private sector. The change in the description of the school’s special educational needs characteristics is to provide uniformity of provision across all three of East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s special schools and to ensure that parents are aware that each school is able to meet the same level of needs as the others. There is currently disparity of provision and the use of different terminology to describe each schools special educational needs provision leads to lack of clarity for parents. There is a need therefore to use a common terminology across all three schools so that, where appropriate, parents can recognise that their child’s needs can be met at any of the three special schools. The change in designation at Riverside School would also increase the capacity across the authority for children with severe and complex needs and thereby help reduce the need for out of area placements. Objectives The main aim is to create a common offer for the current special schools – Riverside, King’s Mill and St. Anne’s - so that all children requiring a special school place can attend the designated special school serving their geographical area. Although the schools will not have a designated catchment area initially, they would serve the North, West and East of the Authority. Riverside School would therefore serve the West of the authority area. In addition, East Riding is seeking to gradually reduce the number of children and young people who attend out-of-area special schools, or who attend private and independent sector schools both within and outside East Riding of Yorkshire. Adjustments to the nature and range of provision within the special schools will contribute to this reduction by providing more children with a wider range of special school provision closer to their homes in the East Riding. Alongside these developments in educational special provision, the proposed changes will also create opportunities for extended Early Years and post 16 placements for children and young people with severe and complex learning needs. The table below sets out the nature and range of provision currently available at each of the special schools. School SEN Characteristics Age Nursery Range Provision Riverside School, SEN Priority 1 – Moderate Learning Difficulty Goole SEN Priority 2 – Autistic Spectrum Disorder, 5 - 16 No Speech, Language and Communication King’s Mill SEN Priority 1 – Autistic Spectrum Disorder School, Driffield SEN Priority 2 – Severe Learning Difficulty, 2 - 19 Yes Physical Difficulty St Anne’s School, SEN Priority 1 – Severe Learning Difficulty Welton 3 - 19 Yes Benefits of Area Special Schools Creating three area special schools would result in: • Consistency across the three special schools in offering provision to meet the needs of ALL children, including those with severe and complex difficulties; • More local provision available for children with a wider range of special needs thereby reducing the need for children to be transported outside of their geographical area or outside East Riding of Yorkshire; • Early years provision becoming available at all three special schools; • Post 16 provision becoming available at all three special schools, giving more equitable access for children and young people across the three areas, without the need for travel out of area. Travel Time and Costs The three special schools in East Riding of Yorkshire are already gradually moving towards offering the same range of provision. Post 16 education was introduced in St Anne’s in September 2011 and at King’s Mill in September 2013. These changes have enabled children to access their nearest special school rather than, in some cases, having to travel long distances to attend a special school that can meet their needs. Not only do these changes, together with the proposed future changes, substantially reduce the travelling times for many children, it should also mean that less has to be spent on transport. Access to a more local school will also help some parents have a greater involvement with their child’s education and school life as it will be easier for them to attend meetings and events. Other Proposed Changes In order to create three area special schools with a common provision, the following changes are also being proposed, but are subject to separate public notices. King’s Mill School - Change in upper age limit from 19 years of age to 25 years of age Change in upper age limit from 19 years of age to 25 years of age St Anne’s School - Change in Special Educational Needs Characteristics to Severe and Complex Learning Needs Change in upper age limit from 19 years of age to 25 years of age Change in lower age limit from 3 years of age to 2 years of age Riverside School - Change in upper age limit from 16 years of age to 25 years of age Change in lower age limit from 5 years of age to 2 years of age Table of Provision if All Proposals are Approved School SEN Characteristics Age Nursery Range Provision Riverside School, Severe and Complex Learning Needs 2 - 25 Yes Goole King’s Mill School, Severe and Complex Learning Needs 2 - 25 Yes Driffield St Anne’s School, Severe and Complex Learning Needs 2 - 25 Yes Welton Impact on other Schools and Academies The impact on other special schools would be minimal. The change in the type of need catered for would provide a consistency in provision across the three special schools maintained by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Having all three schools providing for the same, wider range of special needs means we will have more consistent provision and will allow more parents to choose the special school nearest to their home address. No children will have to move school as a result of the proposed change and the move towards the school serving its local community would be a gradual process. All children will therefore remain on roll at their current school. Requests from parents for their child to transfer from one school to another will be considered as part of an interim or annual review and be subject to a place being available. Over time, there would be fewer children from East Riding of Yorkshire attending establishments outside the area. The reduction would be gradual, and as the number of children attending individual establishments is small, the impact would also be minimal. Project Costs Funding of £4.4m has been approved as part of the Council’s forward Capital Programme for the development of Area Special Schools. This funding is subject to sufficient future allocations and appropriate approvals being obtained It is anticipated that the majority of the capital funding will be required to remodel and extend the provision at Riverside School to meet the needs of pupils with severe and complex needs. There are separate proposals to extend the upper and lower age range of the school as it currently does not have a nursery, reception class or post 16 provision and these costs will also be met from the capital allocation. Revenue costs will be funded through the normal pupil funding process. The current cost of home to school transport for children attending the three special schools maintained by East Riding of Yorkshire Council is around £1.5m per year. If all three schools are able to cater for the same range of special educational needs, parents will be able to choose to send their child to their nearest special school rather than a more distant one. It is estimated that there would be savings of around 40% of the cost of transport. Consultation Consultation on this and the proposals detailed above were undertaken in January 2014. A copy of the consultation document can be found at- http://www2.eastriding.gov.uk/learning/schools-colleges-and-academies/schools-and-school- places/special-schools/ Implementation It is proposed that the change to the special educational needs characteristics be implemented in 5 January 2015. The change to the special educational needs characteristics of the school is significant and in order to cater for the full range of pupil’s needs, adaptations and alterations to the school’s accommodation will be required.

Introduction The red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) is a member of the family Canidae, a group of ten genera and 35 species including wolves, jackals and the domestic dog, as well as 12 species of fox in the genus Vulpes (Macdonald 2001). In addition to the red fox, the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) was present in late glacial times (see Appendix 3.1) but only the wolf (Canis lupus) and domestic dog (Canis familiaris) have been present in Britain’s post- glacial fauna. The wolf became extinct in England perhaps in the late 13th century (Yalden 1999), and the domestic dog generally failed or has not been allowed by human influence to form self-sustaining feral populations. Sub-fossil fox remains have been identified in cave sediments and prehistoric archaeological excavations from 13 sites across Yorkshire representing a range of geological and cultural periods.

  • North Yorkshire County Council Selby and Ainsty Area Constituency Committee – 11 June 2021 Update on Selby District Places and Movement Study
    North Yorkshire County Council Selby and Ainsty Area Constituency Committee – 11 June 2021 Update on Selby District Places and Movement Study 1.0 Purpose of the Report 1.1 To provide a progress report on the Selby District Places and Movement Study. 2.0 Update 2.2 The Selby Places and Movement study was commissioned in Summer 2020, jointly by NYCC and Selby District Council (SDC). The aim of the study is to consider how congestion could be reduced, how air quality could be improved and how the highway network might be adapted to support improved movement for all modes. In addition to this, the study also considers the place making agenda in the towns in question. 2.3 The study was commissioned covering the areas of Selby, Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster, and was funded by the YNYLEP, the NYCC major scheme development budget and Selby District Council. 2.4 A series of workshops, including elected members, officers and partner organisations have taken place at various stages throughout the process to allow dissemination of information and opportunity to input into options and make suggestions. 2.5 During the optioneering process, working in partnership with planning colleagues, it became apparent that work on the Tadcaster option would clash with Selby district local plan development options, therefore work on that particular element of the study was paused. Work on the Tadcaster elements of the study will resume once the local plan consultation has concluded. The funding that remained for the Tadcaster elements of the study has been diverted to additional modelling of the Selby options.

  • The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey
    Introduction: The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey Not only was Yorkshire by far the largest of the ancient counties of England, at 1,709,307 acres, but the West Riding alone exceeded in size every other county except Lincolnshire. The word riding is derived from the late Old English ‘thrithing’ or ‘thriding’, itself adapted from an Old Norse loan word, meaning a third part. Wapentake, similarly derived, was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred, and came from the symbolic flourishing of weapons to signify agreement when decisions were made in open-air assemblies at convenient sites, such as a river crossing or by a stone cross.1 The wapentakes continued to see to the levying of taxes, the raising of the militia and the maintenance of law and order and did not finally disappear until the reorganisation of local government in 1974. The West Riding was divided into eleven wapentakes: Ainsty, Agbrigg, Barkston Ash, Claro, Ewcross, Morley, Osgoldcross, Skyrack, Staincliffe, Staincross and Strafforth. The Ainsty, bounded by the rivers Ure, Ouse and Wharfe, had been annexed by Henry VI (d. 1471), king of England, to the city of York, as the county of the city, which was independent of all three ridings, but it was still considered to be a West Riding wapentake. The wapentakes were divided into townships, the vills of medieval documents. In the eastern parts of the West Riding many townships were coterminous with the ecclesiastical parishes and were referred to as parishes in the hearth tax returns, but the large moorland parishes in the west contained numerous townships.

    Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework: resource assessment A report prepared for the Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework Forum and for English Heritage – project number 2936 RFRA S. Roskams and M. Whyman (Department of Archaeology, University of York) 2005 ABSTRACT This report represents the outcome of research undertaken into the archaeological resources of Yorkshire, using data gathered by SMRs, museums and commercial contractors. It describes the background to the project and its objectives, and the methods used to draw evidence from these diverse sources into a single database. It then proceeds to describe patterning in the data thus collected and collated, first at a general level across the region, then on a chronological basis from the Palaeolithic to Early Modern periods. In each period, the implications of this patterning for archaeological understanding of Yorkshire are drawn out.

    Bishop Monkton Press 1860 - 1869 Yorkshire Gazette, 14 January 1860: RIPON HIGHWAY SPECIAL SESSIONS — These sessions, for the Liberty of Ripon, were held at the Court House, Ripon, on Friday last, before A. Bower, Esq., and John Greenwood, Esq., M.P. Mr. C. Kearsley, the complainant two in cases, is brick and tile- maker, residing at Littlethorpe, near Ripon; the defendants were R. D. Oxley, Esq., who resides at Thorpe Lodge, and Mr. Watson, a farmer at Littlethorpe. They were respectively summoned for not repairing portions of a certain highway leading from Littlethorpe to Bishop Monkton. The case came on for hearing on the of December last, when the defendants denied that the road was out of repair. Mr. Wm. Clarke, of Sharow, road-surveyor, was to inspect the road, and report to the bench. Mr. Clarke now stated that he had viewed the road on the 14th of December last, and considered that it was in good and passable order, so far Mr. Oxley's portion extended; and with respect to Mr. Watson's portion he considered that it was passable. He also found both the defendants had recently repaired the road. The case against Mr. Oxley was dismissed, and an application for costs refused, the magistrates considering that as he had repaired the road between the 2nd and 14th December, it was only fair that each party should pay their own costs. The case against Mr. Watson was heard at some length, and ultimately dismissed with costs. — Mr. Thos. Renton, of Ox Close, in the township of Whiidiffe-with Thorpe, farmer, was summoned by R.
