Goole High School after the
third phase of the multi-
million pound development was
given the go-ahead.
The south aspect of the original
school building, which is 100 years
old this year, will be opened up for
the first time as the final part of the
school building work gets underway.
While the front of the original
building, on Boothferry Road,
remains largely unchanged, the back
was covered up by a number of
extensions, firstly in 1929 and then

Now East Riding of Yorkshire
Council’s cabinet has given approval
for work to start on phase three of the
building project which will see the
extensions removed and the original
facade restored.
Danuta Tomasz, headteacher, said:
“It is a beautiful building which has
been partially covered up for decades
as sections were built onto the back of
the school.
“Now pupils and visitors will have
the chance to see it fully restored. This
is particularly timely as it coincides
with the centenary of the building
this year.”
Phases one and two of the £15m
building project are new buildings,
which will provide teaching spaces
and a number of extended school
Helping people affected by erosion
THE council has secured £1.2
million from the Department of
Environment, Food and Rural
Affairs to become a Coastal Change
Pathfinder.
The funding will be used to
develop and test innovative ways
to help coastal communities adapt
to the pressures posed by coastal
change to help them to achieve a
level of wellbeing and quality of life.
The funding is part of an £11
million Government package for
England in line with its coastal
change adaptation policy.

bid has resulted partly from

Parnaby OBE, Nigel Pearson and John Wilson around
the new buildings, and above, plans for the final part of

reduce running costs and promote
sustainability.
Phases one and two are now
nearing completion and the council
has agreed to fund the third and final
phase which means work on phase
three will start after phases one and
two are finished.
All the work is expected to be
finished by early 2012.
Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE,
leader of the council said: “The
council is committed to completing
this multi-million pound project to
provide a state of the art school in
Goole which will benefit not only
the present pupils but generations to
come.”

“Along the East Riding coast there
are people living in very precarious
positions on the edge of rapidly
eroding cliffs. This funding will help
us to provide basic assistance as well
as trialling ways in which financial
assistance can be provided to
support residents to move away from
the real danger of coastal change.
The greatest barriers for people
wanting to move away from this
position are the costs of demolishing
their property, restoring the land and
paying the associated moving costs.”

“The fact that the council has
now agreed to ensure that we can
move onto phase three straight away
is great news. I have commented
before that the Goole High School

and national government working
together to deliver a common aim.
I am very pleased with the support

“There is a mindset that living next
to the coast provides an attractive
lifestyle, but we need to ensure that
people are aware of the risks and
danger that this environment poses.
“The basic assistance package will
allow people to adapt and reduce
the financial pressure they may
have otherwise faced. Our new
Pathfinder status will also allow us
to provide more help for the most
vulnerable and isolated on the
coast.”
Along the Holderness coastline,
the average annual erosion rate is
in the region of two metres a year.
However, monitoring shows that
single losses can be up to 15 metres
or more.

4 EAST RIDING NEWS JANUARY 2010
„ LEADING LINES
LEADER OF THE COUNCIL
COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE
I HOPE everyone had an enjoyable
Christmas and happy New Year to you all.
Given the global recession and the
difficulties in the financial sector I am sure
we are all wondering what 2010 will have
in store for us.
There will, of course, be a general
election this year and all parties will be
putting forward their proposals on a
whole range of issues, but I suspect the
economy will be the biggest focus of the
campaign.
All parties will need to address how
they will tackle the growing national debt,
reduce government borrowing, and bring
down unemployment along with giving
confidence to the economy.
There is no doubt that tough measures
will have to be taken and the public sector
is expecting reductions in funding across
all services.
Local councils, who receive most of
their funding direct from government – in
the East Riding’s case this is around 60 per
cent of our total revenue spend – will be
expected to reduce expenditure.
We will need to examine everything
we do and attempt to protect those
important front line services that are so
vital to many of our residents.
We will also need to look at how
services are delivered and at new ways of
working more closely with other public
sector partners, for example the NHS,
police and fire authorities, as well as
how we work with the voluntary sector
and local business, pooling of funding,
rationalising of budgets and how savings
can be made.
As well as those mentioned, other
examples include shared accommodation,
IT systems, and so on.
We are well placed in the East Riding
to rise to the challenges that face us and
hopefully we will be given the freedom to
take decisions at a local level that are in
the best interests of local people.
For too long we have been dictated to
by Whitehall mandarins (or as a friend of
mine refers to them – satsumas!), who
have a ‘one-size-fits-all’ policy approach
thus removing democracy from local
people.
We will do our best and our utmost to
protect services and continue with our
sound financial management of the council.
I also sincerely hope that this is
reflected nationally and that everyone
works together to ensure hardship is kept
to a minimum so we can all look forward
to a brighter future.
Haltemprice Playpark
I was rather surprised recently to read of the praise
being given to and received by the East Riding Of
Yorkshire Council regarding the new playpark at the
Haltemprice Leisure centre.
My daughter and her husband live locally and have
two small children.
Over the last year my daughter has repeatedly
contacted the council over her concerns that the play
area at Haltemprice was unsafe and badly neglected.
She was told on every occasion that there was no
funding available for renovation but that in 2010 the
situation may change.
As a last resort, because she was so worried at the
appalling state of the play area, she contacted the

“Some of the year six pupils have

Primary School
is working hard
to teach its pupils to be
environmentally friendly
and has achieved a Green
Flag Award, presented by
ENCAMS.
The Green Flag Award is
given to schools that achieve
strict environmental criteria
and, as such, qualify as ‘eco-
schools.’
Amongst its
environmentally friendly
facilities, the school has gained
permission for a small wind
turbine and has had solar
panels installed. The energy
harnessed from the solar
panels is used to heat water,
with an additional boost of
power available from a boiler
if necessary.
Mrs Susan Eves, head
teacher at Walkington Primary
School, said: “Achieving this
award has given our pupils an
awareness of the environment

James Evison, a pupil
and member of the school’s
eco-friends club, said: “It
was really good to get the
award. We have been making
sure all the lights and taps
are switched off when they
aren’t needed and I really
like the solar panels because
it means we are being very
environmentally friendly.”
The money for the solar
panels was partly funded by

Battery collection
The council is to start trialling kerbside collections of
household batteries in the East Riding.
The trial areas will be announced in the March issue
of East Riding News. If successful, the service will be
rolled out across households in the East Riding.
The service is part of the council’s commitment
to helping residents reduce household waste and to
recycle and compost at least 45 per cent of what they
create.
Batteries contain chemicals such as lead, mercury
or cadmium which, when sent to landfill, can leak
and have to be contained and managed safely by the
landfill operator.
Recycling recovers some of the materials used in
the manufacture, such as nickel, cobalt and silver.

Genius of Barnes Wallis celebrated in Goole www.Àsh.eastriding.gov.uk

AN exhibition entitled ‘Barnes Wallis - the
Yorkshire connection and beyond’ is on at
Goole Museum until 30 January.
Barnes Wallis (1887 - 1979) was
arguably one of the greatest inventive
geniuses of the 20th century. Widely
celebrated for his wartime work on the
Wellington bomber and the so-called
‘bouncing bomb’ used on the ‘Dambusters’
raid on the Ruhr dams, his other successes
have often been overlooked.
During the mid-1920s, Barnes Wallis
was based at Howden, working on the
successful R100 airship project there.
The Yorkshire Howden connection is the
starting point for this exhibition, which
also covers not only his military work,
but his subsequent investigations into
supersonic flight, and projects as diverse
as the Parkes Telescope in Australia,
de-icing systems for Arctic trawlers, and
lightweight calipers for polio victims.
The exhibition is a collaboration
between the Yorkshire-based Barnes
Wallis Memorial Trust and East Riding
of Yorkshire Museums, and is funded by
the Royal Society (of which Barnes Wallis
was a Fellow) as part of its Local Heroes
programme.

Withernsea Adult Education Centre

Learn something new

HAPPY New Year from everyone in
East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s adult
education service.
A great way to start 2010 would be to
take on a new challenge and enrol in one
of the many local classes available.
There are daytime as well as evening
courses and some are held on a weekend.
The adult education service offers
a variety of courses from computer
literacy to foreign languages, art to flower
arranging and sign language to creative
writing.
There are many courses for businesses
or to improve the skills people need to
succeed in the workplace, including NVQs
at level two in business and administration,
customer service and team leading as well
as half-day or one day programmes for
business in areas such as IT skills, report
writing and presentation skills. All are
competitively priced.
There is the opportunity to pay in
flexible installments if the course fees are
more than £150, excluding exam fees, and
concessions may be available dependent
on certain criteria.
Adult learning has an important part
to play in life. Come and join a class and
help us demonstrate that adult learning is
not only vital, but also alive and well in the
East Riding.
This is a very practical course which
builds on skills gained in such courses
as European Computer Driving
Licence and Computer Literacy
Level 1, with lots of ‘hands on’ office
software practice.

WINTER MOTORING
DRIVE SENSIBLY
Always drive according to the conditions.
One of the most important things is to
give yourself plenty of time for the journey.
You don’t want to be rushing on icy roads.
Treat all roads as if they are unsalted. It’s
better to underestimate your grip on the
road than overestimate it.
SNOW
Falling snow reduces visibility so always switch
on your lights. Lack of grip can occur even on
treated roads so drive slowly and in the highest
gear possible. Manoeuvre gently and avoid
harsh braking.

ICE
When roads are icy it is essential to do
everything more carefully than normal. Slow
down if you suspect ice. Steer gently, avoiding
harsh turns. In icy conditions always drive with
caution.
FOG
In fog drive very slowly using dipped headlights
and, if fitted, use front and rear fog lamps. Do
NOT use fog lights unless visibility is less than
328 feet/100m it is an offence to use foglights
unneccesarily. Remember to turn fog lights off
when visibility improves.

RAIN HAIL
Heavy rain will reduce visibility particularly from Hail can arrive unexpectedly – slow down and

worsen the glare from headlights so again, slow

East Riding pupils miss more schooling due to term time holidays

School holiday changes

„ BY Council reporter
E. eastridingnews@eastriding.gov.uk

Children
P
upils of East Riding
schools are more likely

to miss schooling due to
term time holidays than pupils
in other areas of the UK.
In the academic year 2007-08,
nationally 14 per cent of absence
from schools was a result of family
holidays. In the East Riding this
figure was nearly 21 per cent. In
2008-09 this trend has continued.
While this may not seem much,
children achieve less the more
school time they miss. Taking a
child out of school for two weeks
each year means that the child
misses the equivalent of two terms
of education over their school life.
In 2007 only 36 per cent of pupils
in secondary schools with more
than 12 days absence achieved
five GCSEs compared with 91 per
cent with an average of six days
absence.
Only 52 per cent of primary
school pupils with 12 or more
days absence achieved Level 4 or
above in English and Mathematics
compared with 84 per cent where
absence was less than six days.
This is considered compelling
evidence supporting the need to
reduce the number of school days
missed due to term time holidays.
Pupils are not entitled to absence
from school to take holidays. The
council is working closely with
schools across the region to develop
a protocol to reduce the number
„ MISSING OUT: East Riding pupils take more term time holidays
of these holidays in an attempt
to improve the outcomes for our
children and young people.
Head teachers will, in partnership
with the local authority, agree
on which circumstances it is felt
appropriate to authorise parental
requests.
Information will be sent by
the schools to parents during the
spring term. If it is determined
that a parents request for absence
is not appropriate it will not be
authorised.

their love of books.
This year 1273 children took
part in the summer reading
challenge this year and 945 of
them - or 74 per cent - finished
six books. This year’s figure is up
from 72 per cent last year, and
much higher than the national
average rate of 55 per cent.
Councillor Jane Evison,
portfolio holder for cultural
services, housing and public
protection, said: “I am so pleased
to hear about the numbers of
children in the East Riding who
are doing so well in the reading
challenge. I hope this is the start
of a lifetime love of literature.”

Spend £75 ...and save energy and money

for life
By spending only £75 on cavity wall insulation you
can save up to 25% on your fuel bills making your
home warmer and your living healthier.
Are you dreading winter because the house is
always cold? Then invest in insulation as this is the
most cost effective way of reducing your fuel bills and
keeping your home warmer.
Solarwall is working in partnership with East Riding
of Yorkshire Council to provide funding for Cavity Wall
and Loft Insulation so the residents of East Riding
only pay £75. After the successful launch in June
with npower there is still funding available so if you
haven’t applied yet please ring us so we can install your
insulation before the winter bites into your fuel bills.
Installing cavity wall insulation takes less than
half a day to install and carries an independent
guarantee. If you have already had cavity wall done
or your house is unsuitable then look at installing
loft installation for only £75. You are losing 25% of
your valuable heat through your roof. Professionally
installed to current building regulations we also
check your pipes and tanks to bring those up to the
current regulations. Terms and conditions apply and
subject to survey.

AN innovative new course
in Bridlington has produced
its first graduates. The new
BTEC Fire and Rescue in
the Community Diploma is
a 12 week course offered
to young people who may
not normally consider an
academic course and gives
them a chance to gain skills
and a qualification which
will make them more
employable via an intensive
work-based learning
programme.
The course has been
hailed as a tremendous
success by students,
raising aspirations and
confidence of young
people and increasing
opportunities for further
study or providing a
gateway into employment.
Students learn skills
such as the challenges of
undertaking firemen’s drills
and understanding first
aid. Students felt that the
course had equipped them
with skills and experience
to make career choices
as well as helping them in
other areas of their lives.

people and schools said:
“This innovative course
has been invaluable
in helping students
who may not normally

skills, experience and
qualifications. This has been
an excellent example of
partners working together
to provide a better
future for youngsters
