  • Tuesday 30Th November 2020 Dear Parents and Carers As We
    Penistone Road, Birdsedge, Huddersfield HD8 8XR Tel 01484 605441 www.birdsedgefirst.org [email protected] Head Teacher: Mrs Donna Waddington Tuesday 30th November 2020 Dear Parents and Carers As we approach that time of year when snow and severe weather can occur, I wanted to outline clearly the arrangements that would be in place should school need to close to pupils before or during the school day. In the event of severe weather, as Headteacher, I will make an assessment about whether it is safe and practical to open the school to pupils. This decision will also consider and assess the provisions for catering and cleaning as well as safe adult to pupil ratios. Please be assured that closing the school will not be a decision taken lightly and the safety and wellbeing of pupils, their families and staff will be put at the centre of this decision. On occasion this may be due to the availability of teaching/support staff who travel some distance to reach school, rather than purely conditions for pupils getting to school. Should I ever make the decision for school to close, you will be informed, by text message, early in the morning – usually by 7:30am. On occasion, it can take longer to make a decision as the ice is not always apparent and issues arise as staff are leaving home. In these circumstances, we will respond as quickly as possible. Other ways you can check reports of closure are through: Checking the School Website Checking the School Facebook and Twitter Page Checking the council website https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/schoolclosures www.kirklees.gov.uk/winter or following them on twitter Listening to local radio stations: BBC Radio Leeds and Pulse 1/Greatest Hits Radio West Yorkshire If we have to close school during the day due to changes in weather, we will inform you immediately by text message.

    Consultation response form Consultation title Localness on commercial radio Full name Erzsebet “Erzsie” Nagy Contact phone number N/A Representing (delete as appropriate) Self Organisation name N/A Your response Question Your response Question 1: Do you agree that Ofcom’s duty to secure ‘localness’ on local commercial radio Before I write anything, I should state that I am stations could be satisfied if stations were able a U.S. citizen and do not reside in the United to reduce the amount of locally-made Kingdom or have British citizenship, but have programming they provide? If not, please visited occasionally and know of people in the explain the reasons and/or evidence which UK. support your view. There was nothing in the Ofcom rules that stated a U.S. citizen could not participate, so I have decided to participate anyway. All content is original research. ---- Localness should never be reduced on local commercial radio stations. There is research to back this up, proven by statistical research from 2008-2014. There is substantial research that proves listeners value local content to some extent, and not just in major circumstances like floods, terrorist attacks, fire, major emergencies. Rather than reducing local-made programming, some radio stations should be, by statutory requirement, have as much local programming and content as necessary. There is substantial evidence from American researchers – 2004, 2008, 2012, 2014 that proved listeners value locality as a major selling point. Unofficial research in 2007 has proved this. No station should be local for only 3 hours a day, whatever the day of week.

  • Statement: Bauer Radio Stations in the North of England
    Bauer Radio stations in the north of England Request to create a new approved area STATEMENT Publication Date: 10 November 2020 Contents Section 1. Overview 1 2. The approved area request 2 3. Assessment and decision 4 Statement: Bauer Radio stations in the north of England 1. Overview Most local analogue commercial radio stations are required to produce a certain number of hours of locally-made programming. Under legislation passed in 2010, these stations are not only able to broadcast their locally-made hours from within their licence area, but may instead broadcast from studios that are based within a larger area approved by Ofcom. These wider areas are known as ‘approved areas’. Stations can also share their local hours of programming with other stations located in the same approved area. Ofcom has approved an area for every local radio licence in the UK, to give stations more flexibility in their broadcasting arrangements. However, a licensee can ask Ofcom to approve a bespoke area, since the statutory framework allows for an approved area in relation to each local analogue service. What we have decided Following consultation, Ofcom has authorised a new approved area, ‘Yorkshire & Lincolnshire (Bauer)’, for the following 17 licences: Barnsley; Bassetlaw; Bradford & Huddersfield FM; Bridlington; Chesterfield; Doncaster; Grimsby; Harrogate; Humberside FM; Leeds FM; Lincoln; Northallerton; Rotherham; Scarborough; South Yorkshire FM; Wakefield, and; York. Following this decision, we have also approved a Format change request for the Northallerton licence, currently broadcasting as ‘Greatest Hits Radio’, which will allow it to provide locally-made programming from anywhere within this new approved area, and to share this programming with the services provided under the other licences in the new approved area listed above.
