It is based principally on subject inspections of 96 primary schools, 91 secondary schools and seven special schools between 2008 and 2011. This includes five visits in each phase to focus on an aspect of good practice. The report also draws on institutional inspections, 69 subject inspections in colleges, and visits to a sample of art galleries. Part A focuses on the key inspection findings in the context of the continued popularity of the subject with pupils and students.

  • Newsletter January 2021
    NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2021 THE IMPACT OF YWTT TRAINEES IN THEIR HOST SCHOOL PATRICK SPRAKES, HEADTEACHER AT MALET LAMBERT The founding of Yorkshire Wolds Teacher Training was an exciting prospect a few years ago. With Alison Fletcher at the helm, it was always going to be a success, but perhaps even Alison couldn’t have imagined how far the YWTT has come in such a short period of time. Outstanding in every way. I am the Headteacher at Malet Lambert School in East Hull and part of The Education Alliance. Being a partner school of the YWTT has been hugely beneficial for us over the last few years. Right from the off, when YWTT trainees step into school, it is obvious that they have been well prepared, making that potentially huge step seem a lot smaller. The ITT development sessions are crucial for trainees and you can clearly see them having the confidence to put that theory into practice in school, very early on. Malet Lambert encourages its departments to accommodate YWTT trainees where they possibly can. Trainees have often brought new ideas into school and our pupils have benefitted from some excellent lessons and relationships. In some cases, we have had relevant staff vacancies and have made some very successful YWTT permanent appointments over the last few years. Only last term, a previous YWTT trainee was promoted to Head of Geography in only her third year of teaching. This, of course, is a reflection of her skill set and hard work, but the ongoing support from YWTT, The Education Alliance and Malet Lambert during her NQT and RQT years has also been crucial.

  • East Riding College Higher Education Access Agreement
    East Riding College Higher Education Access Agreement Purpose The purpose of this agreement is to set out the College’s planned higher education fees for 2018/19; its commitment and strategy to widen participation; and its arrangements for evaluating the success of its widening participation activities. Introduction East Riding College is based across two main sites, in Beverley (Flemingate) and Bridlington (St Mary’s Walk), with an additional smaller site in Hull. By placing itself at the heart of the communities which it serves, the College fulfils a critical role in the social and economic transformation of the area. The East Riding of Yorkshire is the fifth largest unitary authority in England covering 240,768 hectares (or 930 square miles) and has a population of 336,685 (ONS 2015), which is a low density of just 1.4 people per hectare. It is principally rural with the main centres of population being Bridlington, Driffield, Hornsea, Beverley, Cottingham, Pocklington, Goole and Withernsea. The largest town in the East Riding is currently Bridlington with a population of 34,107 (ONS Mid-Year Estimates 2014). The working age population (ages 16-64) in the East Riding is 199,172 (59% of the total population) but there is a larger than average number of residents aged 65 and over, with 25% being in this age band in the East Riding as opposed to 18% nationally (ONS 2015). In the East Riding 96.2% of the population are White British compared to 79.8% in England (2011 Census). The largest non-British ethnic group in the East Riding is Other White at 1.60%, followed by Indian at 0.32% and White Irish at 0.27% of the total population (2011 Census).

  • ERCAS Accredited Sports Clubs in the East Riding (As of 1St April 2015)
    ERCAS Accredited Sports Clubs in the East Riding (as of 1st April 2015) This list has been collated to help put you in touch with our many local accredited clubs. Clubs are listed in sport order, and each one states the level of accreditation that they have gained. An accredited club is one who has worked towards a series of standards to prove that they can provide a safe, child friendly environment for junior members. There are a number of accreditation schemes for clubs to work towards, such as National Governing Body (NGB) Accreditation, Sport England's ‘Clubmark’ Scheme, and the Council's own Club Accreditation Scheme (ERCAS) all of which are a quality standard for clubs. The level of accreditation is shown against each club. Please note that only accredited clubs that are registered with the Sport, Play & Arts Service are shown on this list and should be used by schools and leisure centres when (making private bookings, providing coaching sessions to young people and handing out publicity material) If schools or leisure centres would like a group not on the list to begin working towards accreditation please contact Paul Hamlett (East Riding Volunteer Action Services – ERVAS) on 01482 871077 or email [email protected] For all other queries relating to this process please contact Adam Toes (Community Recreation Officer) on 01482 392524 or email [email protected] Clubs failing to renew their ERCAS accreditation in the last quarter are as follows: South Hunsley Badminton Club Goldstar Gymnastics The Track Fitness & Boxing Club
