Travel booklet Autumn term 2020 Travelling to and from school Introduction The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) is committed to providing a range of safe and environmentally sustainable options for travelling to school and encouraging pupils to walk, cycle or use public transport. We run the UK’s largest school bus service covering Leeds, West and North Yorkshire, which enables hundreds of our pupils to get to and from school safely every day. We have planned our service for the autumn term 2020 in response to the government, Public Health England and Department for Transport guidance to minimise the risk of COVID-19 infections. We have had to reduce the capacity of our vehicles with the resulting changes to our service for autumn term 2020 only or until government guidance changes: • The service will prioritise senior school pupils • Primary pupils in Year 3 and above may travel only if accompanied by a senior school sibling • We have doubled the number of services on our free shuttle bus routes serving Moortown Corner and Slaid Hill Over the summer holidays we have also enhanced our traffic management systems for those who have to drive to school. We have installed a new express lanes zone in front of our remodelled Primary School and made improvements to the main off drop zone in the visitor car park. These changes plus enhancements to the road layout and the installation of traffic lights will help the flow of traffic on site, and also ensure that cars can enter and leave school safely, and easily. We will be regularly reviewing all of our travel arrangements in response to guidance from government and other statutory bodies, and to meet the requirements of the school and its pupils. 1 Travel options Driving to school Drivers must enter school via the main gates on Harrogate Road and travel along the drive to the appropriate drop off or parking area. Vehicular access to Manor House Lane is for residents only. The lanes on the drive are clearly marked and flow of traffic will be controlled by a traffic light system. Please ensure that the yellow box area at the junction is kept clear at all times. o Sixth form drivers Sixth form students who drive themselves to school are not permitted to park on site. o Parent drop off and parking areas In order to ensure the smooth flow of traffic around the site, particularly at peak times, we ask parents to use the relevant drop off zone rather than to park for extended periods. Parents may drop off in one of the following three areas: 1. Express lanes zone (in front of Primary School) • We have created a new area where parents can drop their child off safely and quickly, and immediately leave the school site. • It will operate from 07:30 to 08:30 • There will be three lanes which can accommodate 12 cars at any one time. • This zone is only for pupils who can exit the car quickly and make their way independently to Primary or Senior School. 2. Main drop off zone (in the visitor car park area) • It will operate from 07:00 to 08:30 • This zone is for any pupils who need time to safely exit the car and who can walk to school from their car independently. 3. Short stay zone (in the visitor car park area) • It will operate from 07:00 to 08:30. • This area is for parents who need to park for a short period of time whilst they accompany their child to school playgrounds or buildings. • There are accessible parking places in this zone. o Pick up at end of school day Parents may pick up from either the main drop off zone or the short stay zone. Both are in the the visitor car park area. Walking and cycling Pupils living in close proximity to the school are encouraged to walk or cycle. Cyclists and pedestrians may access the school along Manor House Lane or via the main drive, which has a dedicated cycle path alongside the footpath. Secure cycle storage is available on site. 2 Public transport Public bus services stop on Harrogate Road, about a 15-minute walk from the school buildings: • 36 (Leeds-Harrogate-Ripon, every 15 minutes at peak times) Transdev • 48 (Leeds –Moortown-Wigton Lane, hourly) First Bus School buses We operate 12 morning and afternoon services, together with 6 late services. The bus service has to be environmentally and financially sustainable so routes are designed to enable significant numbers of pupils to get to school safely and efficiently. In addition, we offer free shuttle service(s) from: • Alwoodley Lane - the bus stop on The Avenue • Moortown Corner – the bus stop north of Marks & Spencer (near the roundabout with Scott Hall Road). - please note this has changed from last year • Slaid Hill – the bus stop at the Dexter on Wigton Lane Due to the current restrictions, for the autumn term school bus services will only be available to senior school pupils and Year 3 to 6 pupils travelling with a sibling in senior school. 3 GSAL school bus services for the autumn term 2020 Overview The daily buses arrive at school between 08:00 and 08:20 and depart school at 16:10. The late bus services depart at 17:50 to accommodate pupils taking part in after school activities but please note that the routes differ from the 16:10 services. Due to the COVID-19 arrangements capacity on all of the vehicles will be reduced, therefore all journeys must be pre-booked for the full autumn term. Bookings must be for return journeys and for a minimum of three days per week, and the booked journey must be the same for every week of the autumn term. We advise pupils to arrive at their bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is due. Our school buses only pick up and drop off at recognised bus stops. Electronic registration system The automatic registration system requires pupils to swipe their identity card/fob as they board and also give their name to the driver who will check they are registered on the list of pre-authorised users. Senior school pupils must use their student identity card to swipe on and off the bus and primary school pupils must use a bus fob. Fobs will be issued via their class teacher. Autumn term bus passes Each bus route is divided into four travel zones, please check your child’s required route to identify the relevant travel zone.

  • Our Pullein Ancestors

    Our Pullein Ancestors

    OUR PULLEIN ANCESTORS J Brian Hardaker Version dated May 2017 The # numbers are the identification numbers in Our Family Tree on the website Names in bold type are believed to be in my direct ancestral line. Our link to the Pullein family comes through Mary Pullan, the wife of John Hardaker of Idle. Mary was born in Idle in 1786 and died there in 1854. She and John had ten children, among them Samuel Hardaker, father of John Lee Hardaker, my paternal grandfather. We can trace the history of the Pullans because of the vast research effort into the family by Catharine Pullein in her book The Pulleyns of Yorkshire, published in 1915 by J. Whitehead and Son of Leeds (pp. viii + 799). What follows comes mostly from that source.1 The Origin of the Name As is clear from the variants already introduced, there have been many different spellings of the name. While Pullan seems most common these days, we shall soon see that there are reasons to believe that Pullein or Pulleyn would be more correct. After examining a number of other possibilities, Catharine concludes that the name originated in the Crusades. This long series of wars, which occurred intermittently for about 200 years, have some echoes in modern problems in the Middle East. In A.D. 1095 a religious fanatic called Peter the Hermit became fired with holy indignation at insults by Moslems to the Christian pilgrims visiting Jerusalem and at the desecration of sacred places there. He travelled around Europe rousing Christians with stories of the wrongs done.
  • Alwoodley Parish – Application For

    Alwoodley Parish – Application For

    ALWOODLEY PARISH COUNCIL APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA Prepared on behalf of Alwoodley Parish Council 5 November 2013 Introduction Alwoodley, for the purposes of this application, is a civil parish created in 2008 within the City of Leeds. Some of the adjacent areas are commonly referred to as being in Alwoodley but do not form part of the civil parish. It lies some 5 miles north of the city centre on the northern edge of the West Yorkshire conurbation. The parish is on a ridge between the valleys of the River Aire and River Wharfe. It is bounded by the suburbs of Adel and Bramhope to the west, Harrogate Road to the east, Moor Allerton to the south and Harewood parish to the north. The northern part of the parish is mixed farmland in the Green Belt in which Eccup Reservoir is situated. To the north of the parish is the Harewood Estate. Moortown and Sandmoor golf courses lie within the parish together with part of Headingley golf course. There are several sports fields. The site of a Roman road crosses the parish from West to East, from Ilkley to Tadcaster, close to Alwoodley Lane. Alwoodley Old Hall stood adjacent to the site of Eccup Reservoir in the present grounds of Sandmoor Golf Club. Built in the 17th century it was demolished in 1969. Early on the 20th century Alwoodley became a leisure destination for Leeds inhabitants; before that it was an isolated agricultural community. Much of the suburban area was developed between 1920 and 1980 . Leeds Country Way and two long distance footpaths, the Dales Way and the Ebor Way, cross or lie on the edge of the parish.

  • This Meanwood Valley Walk Download

    This Meanwood Valley Walk Download

    An introduction to the The Meanwood Valley has long been celebrated as a ‘green artery’ in Leeds, bringing rural countryside into the heart of the city. In this green corridor is a rich mosaic of habitats, including woodland, lowland heath, meadow, watercourses and ponds. Though much of the valley is readily accessible from local urban areas, it provides an excellent opportunity to experience and enjoy wildlife in often seemingly-remote surroundings. The valley is centred on two watercourses, the topmost being Adel Beck which rises in Bramhope, but which gives way to Meanwood Beck just south of the Outer Ring Road. The becks are home to fish, such as stone loach and bullhead, as well as the native white-clawed crayfish, which is sadly now threatened. Keep your eyes open when walking near the becks and you may be lucky to spot one of our resident kingfishers or otters. Where the becks flow between boulders and within the woodland, the cool, moist conditions provide the perfect habitat for ferns, liverworts and mosses. In contrast, the poor, free-drain - ing soils and open and exposed conditions at Adel Moor are ideal for heather and if you’re particularly lucky, you may spot the com - mon lizards which live here. Small ponds along the valley are also the breeding grounds of frogs, toads and newts, including the protected great crested newt. The woodlands that cover much of the green space in the valley provide wonderful scenes of carpets of ground flora in spring and rich colours in the autumn. Mammals such as roe deer, stoats and several species of bats make the woodland their home, together with a wide variety of bird species, from house sparrows and long-tailed tits to jays, red kites and all three native woodpecker – the great spotted, lesser spotted and green woodpecker.

    May 2021 FOI 2387-21 Drink Spiking

    Our ref: 2387/21 Figures for incidents of drink spiking in your region over the last 5 years (year by year) I would appreciate it if the figures can be broken down to the nearest city/town. Can you also tell me the number of prosecutions there have been for the above offences and how many of those resulted in a conviction? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police receive reports of crimes that have occurred following a victim having their drink spiked, crimes such as rape, sexual assault, violence with or without injury and theft. West Yorkshire Police take all offences seriously and will ensure that all reports are investigated. Specifically for victims of rape and serious sexual offences, depending on when the offence occurred, they would be offered an examination at our Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where forensic samples, including a blood sample for toxicology can be taken, with the victim’s consent, if within the timeframes and guidance from the Faculty for Forensic and Legal Medicine. West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors.
