National Society Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools Report National Society Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools Report Skirlaugh Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School Dorset Avenue Skirlaugh, Hull HU11 5EB Diocese: York Local authority: East Riding of Yorkshire Date of inspection: 9th March 2011 Date of last inspection: 23 rd April 2008 School’s unique reference number: 117993 Headteacher Mrs J Forth Inspector’s name and number: Mr R D Masterton No. 483 School context Skirlaugh C of E VC Primary School serves the village of Skirlaugh and others nearby in a rural district near Beverley and Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. There are 153 pupils who are predominantly White British. A below average percentage of children are eligible for free school meals but the proportion with special needs is average. The school has close links to the nearby parish church which hosts an ecumenical community. At the time of the inspection the head teacher had been in post for just six months. The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Skirlaugh Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School as a Church of England school are good. Skirlaugh school has sustained the quality of its distinctive Christian provision through a period since the last inspection when there have been several changes of leadership. This reflects the intrinsic strength and unity of purpose by staff and foundation governors. Under the leadership of the present headteacher, critical self evaluation has become firmly established. It has reflected more exacting inspection standards and given accurate insight into how the school can further improve. Skirlaugh has the potential to become rapidly an outstanding church school. Established strengths • School mission and applied Christian values that are easily recognised and greatly valued by children and their parents. • The enthusiasm and respect shown by children towards their collective worship. • The quality of relationships in the school that help children to achieve well. Focus for development • Review areas of the curriculum to identify ways that a Christian dimension may improve children’s experience and learning. • Develop the extent to which children can make a greater creative contribution to collective worship through their own involvement in, planning, writing and leading and evaluating. • Extend the range of managers’ skills through professional development of staff so that the current heavy responsibilities for church school leadership carried by the head teacher may be shared. • Develop a greater partnership with the local worshipping community so that school activities are more evident in parish life and worship The school, through its distinctive Christian character, is good at meeting the needs of all learners Skirlaugh school confidently and visibly uses Christian values to shape the provision and life of the school. They inspire the community and the way that it works together. Children know they are in a church school and can describe its distinctiveness in terms of their personal progress, happiness, enthusiasm to attend and care for each other. School policies have been carefully framed with reference to the stated values of hope, friendship, peace, wisdom, trust, honesty, courage and compassion. While the curriculum reflects many examples of Christian experience and tradition, planning has not yet systematically ensured that all subject areas and activities offer a distinct and Christian dimension to their presentation. Children at Skirlaugh grow to become polite, kind, curious, mutually supportive and happy individuals while at school. Work in classes is characterised by good behaviour, support and cooperation often with children of different ages working together. Older children are willing to explore difficult fundamental ideas such as those related to faith but have limited opportunities to try and make sense of dilemmas concerning faith and truth through extended dialogue with teachers and visitors from the church. They respond well to others in need and understand the Christian inspiration for love and care. Children have some contact with their peers in other schools in diverse UK communities. The school is a very harmonious community with children and adults working well together. Conflicts are easily resolved given the high quality of relationships. Skirlaugh school is a stimulating place in which to learn and children’s achievement is good. Christian messages and ideas are evident in classrooms and in public areas giving stimulus for reflection. School grounds are spacious and well equipped for recreation and learning but currently offer limited provision for quiet reflection or collective worship outdoors. There are many extra-curricular activities but none yet with a Christian focus or any link with church activities for young people. The impact of collective worship on the school community is good. Collective worship is central to the daily life and purpose of the school. It is organised at whole school, Key Stage and class level and viewed as an important way of developing children’s spirituality and maturity. Parents are encouraged to attend. Many do so for the special events held in church which have standing room only and a few attend each week for school collective worship on Fridays. Planning is undertaken by the head teacher who incorporates key Anglican festivals and references Christian values to appropriate Bible stories. There are close links made to the curriculum for social and emotional aspects of learning. Contributions from the parish priest and lay personnel are well integrated but, as is also the case with foundation governors, they are not currently involved in strategic planning. Anglican liturgy and traditions are well represented using a lighted candle, responses, music, hymns and prayers. Collective worship offers memorable experiences for children whose response is evident in their very good behaviour, enthusiasm to sing and get involved. They show great respect for the ideas presented especially when they are contributed by their peers. Children write prayers, take part when asked, show their willingness to lead and present aspects themselves. They talk at home about what they have learned. Collective worship influences work in class, causes children to reflect on ideas they meet particularly in religious education (RE) lessons and inspires their work for charities in order to help others. Children provide some input into evaluation and provide ideas and contributions for class and Key Stage collective worship but their role is not fully developed into regular opportunities to plan, write and lead acts of collective worship themselves. No children are withdrawn either from collective worship or RE by their parents. Prayers are also said regularly at other times of the day. The effectiveness of the leadership and management of the school as a church school is good. In the short time she has been in post, the head teacher has accelerated the pace of development and improvement through the introduction of rigorous evaluation of the school as a church school. She has built on the intrinsic strength of staff and governors who ensured that the quality of provision and commitment to Christian distinctiveness did not waver in spite of a period of changes in leadership. There is a clear mission and statement of the Christian values that inspire the school and these are consciously applied and well understood by the children themselves. They have been worked into school policies and touch many aspects of the curriculum. Parents recognise the way the school pursues its mission and are very appreciative, whatever their own faith background, and testify to their children’s happiness and success. Foundation governors work very conscientiously and have undertaken training to help them use formal National Society self evaluation methods alongside the head teacher. Thus leaders and governors both have a very well informed and accurate view of the quality of school provision and how it can be improved. At present the head teacher is co-ordinating collective worship and RE in addition to her other duties. Staff aspire to improve and there is developing capacity for church school leadership which will mean some responsibilities can soon be shared. Improvements identified at the previous inspection are all in place with links established to other schools, more opportunity for prayer and parents attending collective worship. Although the school uses the parish church for special acts of collective worship and aspects of RE, it does not have a close relationship with the local worshipping community and school contributions to parish worship are few.

  • EAST RIDING of YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave
    EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave 1. INTRODUCTION This volume comprises the hearth tax returns for the historic East Riding of Yorkshire and the town and county of Hull.1 The East Riding, the smallest of the three Yorkshire ridings, covers some 750,000 acres (303,750 hectares). It is almost totally bounded by water with the Humber estuary to the south, the North Sea to the east, and the river Ouse to the west and south and river Derwent to the north. The boundary, around 200 miles in length, is only land- based for seven miles between York and Stamford Bridge and eight miles between Binnington Carr and North Cliff, Filey (Map 1).2 Hull, more correctly Kingston-upon-Hull, stands at the confluence of the river Hull and the Humber estuary. The riding divides into four main natural regions, the Yorkshire Wolds, Holderness, the Vale of York, and the Vale of Pickering (Map 2). The Yorkshire Wolds, a great crescent of chalk stretching from the Humber to the coast at Flamborough Head, is the most distinctive relief feature of the region. Essentially a high tableland of gently rolling downs dissected by numerous steep-sided dry valleys it reaches a maximum height of around 808 feet (246 metres) above sea-level near Garrowby Hill. At the coast the chalk cliffs rise up to 400 feet (120 metres). Along the western edge of the Wolds are the Jurassic Hills, a narrow band of limestone that broadens out to the north to form an area of distinctive scenery to the south of Malton.

  • United Ancient Order of Druids
    508 HOLDERNESS DIVISION. There was a chapel-of-ease here to the mother church of Swine. It was standing at the Reformation, but there is no record of the time of its erection, nor is the time known when it was demolished. Some of the stones are said to have been used in building a bridge over the Lamwath stream. The font was long preserved at Burton Constable. The site of the chapel is still known as Kirk Garth. There is a small Catholic chapel in the village, built by William Constable, Esq., in 1789. It is dedicated to the Most Holy Sacrament, and consists of sanctuary and nave, with a small gallery at the end. On the wall is a memorial tablet to Mary, relict of John Chichester, Esq., of Arlington, Devonshire, and second daughter of Major Mc.Donald Mc.Donald, of Ternadrish, Inverness, who was deprived of his estate, liberty, and life for espousing the cause of Prince Charlie, October 18th, 1746. She died at Bath in 1815, and is interred in the vault beneath this chapel. Service is held in the chapel on the first Sunday of each month, at 11-0 a.m., by the priest from Redon. Attached to the chapel is a small cemetery. An undenominational school, supported by a VOluntary rate, is held in the old Catholic school, built by Lady Constable. There are 27 children on the books, and an average attendance of 21. SOUTH SKIRLAUGH TOvVNSHIP. Workhouse-Robt. Catlin, mMter; Miss Eliz. SKIRLAUGH POOR LAW UNION. Dalkin, matron; Rev. Wm.
