:00:58. > :01:04.determined to find an answer to what Ofsted has called a dire education
:01:04. > :01:08.system. It follows a meeting last week with local MPs when he told
:01:08. > :01:12.them education in the county is now his top priority.
:01:12. > :01:15.Tonight he's talking to community and religious leaders in Norwich.
:01:16. > :01:19.Tomorrow he turns his attention to the business world. In a moment
:01:19. > :01:29.we'll hear from one of those MPs. But first Nikki Fox has been looking
:01:29. > :01:34.
:01:34. > :01:38.at the story behind Norfolk's into this and it raised concern at
:01:38. > :01:41.the way they are being run and these are the stats which are worrying
:01:42. > :01:47.Ofsted. The red line shows the percentage of 11-year-olds leaving
:01:47. > :01:51.school with a decent level of English and maths. It is improving
:01:51. > :01:56.but not as fast as the national average and it is a similar picture
:01:56. > :02:00.with GCSEs. The red line is students getting five or more a to C grades
:02:00. > :02:06.and the second line is the picture across England. These pictures led
:02:06. > :02:11.to the early retirement of Lisa Christensen, the head of Children's
:02:11. > :02:16.Services. Nine MPs highlighted their concerns to the schools minister.
:02:16. > :02:21.One MP says she schools should stop learning from each other. For too
:02:21. > :02:25.long, a poor quality of education has been tolerated. We have to be
:02:25. > :02:29.ambitious in raising our game. There are many schools that have performed
:02:29. > :02:33.above average, even in the national context and we should highlight that
:02:33. > :02:40.good practice and share that with other schools in the county so every
:02:40. > :02:45.school in the county can be seen as a good school. Lord Nash is visiting
:02:45. > :02:53.because he once more schools to be academies and they are pointing to
:02:53. > :02:58.Ormiston Victory Academy in Norwich. A year ten school learning all about
:02:58. > :03:03.the way babies develop in the womb. Two years ago, this school was in
:03:03. > :03:08.special measures but then it became an academy and in May this year, it
:03:08. > :03:13.was classed as outstanding by Ofsted. We have focused hard on
:03:13. > :03:18.behaviour at the start and making sure everyone had best behaviour.
:03:18. > :03:23.Then it was teaching and learning, making sure our teachers were really
:03:23. > :03:26.skilled in the latest techniques and then a focus on achievement.
:03:26. > :03:30.Academies are free from local government control and free to set
:03:31. > :03:35.their own pay and conditions for staff and have some freedoms around
:03:35. > :03:40.the curriculum. Nicole Patterson in year ten remembers the academy when
:03:40. > :03:48.it was the old high school. She likes it better now. We got away
:03:48. > :03:53.with a lot. They were lest -- less strict at the old school. That is
:03:53. > :03:58.more teachers here so we get more education. Her friends in year ten
:03:58. > :04:02.also like the new regime. All the teachers can now and you are
:04:02. > :04:11.expected to get more and they help you get more. We have a lot more
:04:11. > :04:14.space. Much more structured. Everything is so much better. The
:04:14. > :04:22.expectations are higher. The unions are opposed to the idea of
:04:22. > :04:27.academies. The Nu T believes in a good local school that every child
:04:27. > :04:37.and recently funded education. It pulls into question accountability
:04:37. > :04:37.
:04:37. > :04:42.for that education. My first academy opened in 2006/ 2007. We have proven
:04:42. > :04:46.it works. The results of sponsored academies are taking on those tough
:04:46. > :04:50.schools and improve at a faster rate than any other counter school.
:04:50. > :04:56.Tomorrow, Lord Nash is due at the old Fire station in Norwich and what
:04:56. > :04:59.will become the new Isaac Newton Academy. Even now not everyone is in
:04:59. > :05:09.favour of academies. But the government believes they are a big
:05:09. > :05:12.part of the future. It is one thing asking schools to learn from each
:05:12. > :05:16.other but the government says that can't happen without sponsorship.
:05:16. > :05:23.Lord Nash says academies need to work with businesses and today's
:05:23. > :05:27.conference aims to encourage them to do just that. Businesses are astute.
:05:27. > :05:33.They look at the way that an organisation works and they have
:05:33. > :05:37.great pointers and challenges to make organisations perform
:05:37. > :05:40.differently. Also they bring a tremendous amount of passion and
:05:40. > :05:43.commitment to the job. Just finally, Norfolk County Council appointed a
:05:43. > :05:47.new interim head of Children's Services today. Her name is Sheila
:05:47. > :05:49.Lock. During her time in Leicester she steered the authority away from
:05:49. > :05:59.the bottom of the performance table and her council colleagues say
:05:59. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:08.they're confident she can do the to us today but I spoke to Elizabeth
:06:08. > :06:13.Truss, and Education Minister and the MP for South West Norfolk and I
:06:13. > :06:18.put it to her that it was difficult to attract good quality teachers to
:06:18. > :06:22.Norfolk when the knew the schools were doing so poorly. We are
:06:22. > :06:26.bringing more young graduates who have top degrees come to the county
:06:26. > :06:29.which is great news. What we have got to do is support our teachers
:06:29. > :06:34.better and make sure there are links between schools that good links
:06:34. > :06:40.between teaching and businesses so teachers are brought up to speed on
:06:40. > :06:46.the latest developments and subjects like maths and. Organisations can
:06:46. > :06:49.help do that and spread best practice across the county. You say
:06:49. > :06:57.you want these top graduates to come here but you need very experienced
:06:57. > :07:01.head teachers to turn those schools around, don't you? Headteachers are
:07:01. > :07:09.really important and so is the support they get. We have seen a
:07:10. > :07:12.number of sponsors helping us and we have trusts that are sponsoring
:07:12. > :07:16.academies. We have more impetus because what we have seen in the
:07:16. > :07:21.past is an area is like Norfolk that haven't got the same attention as
:07:21. > :07:25.places like London and big cities. We are seeing more attention on
:07:25. > :07:29.Norfolk. It is great that Lord Nash is coming to the county. It is the
:07:29. > :07:33.first county he is visiting and it shows the priority here is putting
:07:33. > :07:37.on improving education in Norfolk. One of the problems in getting
:07:37. > :07:45.people to come here is you as a group of MPs are talking down the
:07:45. > :07:53.quality of our schools here. We do have some problematic results so the
:07:53. > :07:57.destination league tables did show we were bottom. We were pointing out
:07:57. > :08:02.best practice. A couple of weeks ago I went to Springwood School in Kings
:08:02. > :08:06.Lynn and saw the excellent work they are doing in getting good careers
:08:06. > :08:10.education and mentoring and getting children into Oxbridge. We are
:08:10. > :08:14.seeing a turnaround. We have to encourage teachers. We had a great
:08:14. > :08:18.conference in West York -- West Norfolk talking to teachers about
:08:19. > :08:23.the new curriculum and what they can do to work with the teachers across
:08:23. > :08:26.the county. This is about people working together, getting local
:08:27. > :08:29.businesses involved and construction of -- constructive activity which
:08:29. > :08:34.will deliver better results for our children and better jobs for our
:08:34. > :08:37.children. The father of a man who was
:08:37. > :08:41.incorrectly diagnosed three times with depression when he had a brain
:08:41. > :08:45.tumour is demanding that his GPs are suspended. Chris Buckley, who lived
:08:45. > :08:53.at Wickford in Essex, died earlier this year. An investigation by the
:08:54. > :08:58.General Medical Council decided that no disciplinary action was needed.
:08:58. > :09:04.Chris Buckley on a fishing trip in Florida before he became in,
:09:05. > :09:10.memories his father cherishes. He was always a bright lad, never in
:09:10. > :09:16.trouble, keen on sport, particularly football and golf. In late 2011 come
:09:16. > :09:21.he started to lose his speech and came here to the GP surgery. He was
:09:21. > :09:25.wrongly diagnosed with depression. He returned for a second visit and
:09:25. > :09:31.that GP made a second diagnosis and prescribed more drugs. Three weeks
:09:31. > :09:38.after that, he was rarely able to talk and was distraught and AGP
:09:38. > :09:43.referred him to a mental health unit. Chris had a brain Juno. When
:09:43. > :09:51.he was losing the use of an arm and leg, he was diagnosed has surgery.
:09:51. > :09:56.It took a while to sink in as to how serious the error was. I have been
:09:56. > :10:01.extremely angry over it because it has seriously affected his quality
:10:01. > :10:07.of life. It may or may not have had an impact on his life expectancy but
:10:07. > :10:12.certainly the quality of life during that period was markedly worse. He
:10:13. > :10:17.says an investigation provided showed that this care fell below the
:10:17. > :10:21.standard. Today the practice offered his condolences but said the best
:10:21. > :10:25.occasion had concluded that the care given by all three GPs had been
:10:25. > :10:30.appropriate and there have been no recommendations for action. Chris
:10:30. > :10:34.Buckley met his newborn son just before he died and a new NHS
:10:34. > :10:38.investigation into his misdiagnosing is underway. His father says in the

:10:48. > :10:52.girl. Doctor Imran Khan is on trial at Ipswich Crown Court and has been
:10:52. > :10:57.giving evidence today. He insisted there was no truth in the
:10:57. > :11:04.allegations. Our reporter Kevin Burch was in court. He's in Ipswich
:11:04. > :11:12.now. Today was the opportunity for him to give his version of the
:11:12. > :11:16.events to his -- to the jury. He is 40 years old and facing seven
:11:16. > :11:21.charges of sexually assaulting a charge under 13. They cover a spell
:11:21. > :11:26.from the 19th or 20th of September 2011 through to the 7th of November
:11:26. > :11:35.2011. The prosecution alleged Doctor Khan assaulted girl who complained
:11:35. > :11:38.of Donna Mull -- abdominal pain and breathing. She removed her clothes.
:11:38. > :11:44.After midday, Doctor Khan took the witness stand and told the jury he
:11:44. > :11:47.was married with two children. His defence counsel cut to the chase and
:11:47. > :11:55.detailed the allegations and the intimate areas the GP was accused of
:11:55. > :12:02.touching. Did you go to her house to sexually assault her, they asked.
:12:02. > :12:11.No. Is there any truth of these allegations? No, said Doctor Khan.
:12:11. > :12:16.He always said there was a chaperone that there was not a chaperone
:12:16. > :12:21.present. He described the mother as remarkable saying she was demanding
:12:21. > :12:25.and anxious and passed that anxiety onto the child. Doctor Khan said he
:12:25. > :12:29.went out of his way to help them and denied trying to beguile the
:12:29. > :12:34.youngster and said he hadn't taken the girls's hand and stroked it and
:12:34. > :12:37.told her she was beautiful during that visit. Doctor Khan denies all
:12:37. > :12:40.charges and the trial continues tomorrow.

:14:11. > :14:16.Wimbledon? I couldn't watch it all. For all
:14:16. > :14:19.tennis fans, it's been a long time coming. And for tennis clubs who
:14:19. > :14:29.will be hoping to attract young players, Murray-mania is manna from
:14:29. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:35.heaven. Alex Dolan is at the Felixstowe Lawn Tennis Club now. It
:14:35. > :14:40.is the most beautiful evening here in Felixstowe. I don't know if it is
:14:40. > :14:44.the sunshine but it is packed with youngsters or practising tonight. I
:14:44. > :14:51.am going to introduce you to their coach. She was at Wimbledon last
:14:51. > :14:55.night. How was it? The atmosphere was amazing. To see him win his
:14:55. > :15:03.first Wimbledon was a dream come true. Me and three of the girls were
:15:03. > :15:07.on the hills in the sun. All the enthusiasm that we have now got with
:15:07. > :15:11.this spectacular win, how do you keep the momentum going? There is
:15:11. > :15:15.something every year that we call the Wimbledon effect. We have so
:15:15. > :15:20.many children playing tennis for the first time. Keeping the momentum
:15:20. > :15:24.going is key but it is trying to let everyone know how much we have going
:15:24. > :15:30.on down here. We have competitions and open days and it is a sport you
:15:30. > :15:36.can play for your whole life. Do you think he has something special?
:15:36. > :15:40.it something you are born with or can you train it? I say it is a bit
:15:40. > :15:44.of both. You can tell in the preschool lessons the children that
:15:44. > :15:51.have this natural ability. If you are passionate, I don't think you
:15:51. > :15:58.would become -- if you are not passionate comic I don't think you
:15:58. > :16:01.would become a Wimbledon champion. Now despite the euphoria of Murray's
:16:01. > :16:03.win, the stark reality in recent years is that fewer people are
:16:04. > :16:09.actually playing the game. It's meant the Lawn Tennis Association's
:16:09. > :16:16.funding has been cut forcing some aspiring young players abroad.
:16:16. > :16:21.77 years, at last a British winner. Disbelief for some, for others,
:16:21. > :16:28.tears of joy and total jubilation. For tennis, a golden opportunity.
:16:28. > :16:33.Did you watch Andy Murray? Youngsters are already flooding in.
:16:33. > :16:37.This tennis club is bustling with activity. We have so many people
:16:37. > :16:41.that watched yesterday and are now looking to get into opportunities
:16:41. > :16:48.locally. Just like the sessions here, we have adult sessions as
:16:48. > :16:52.well. Eastern College received a �3 million investment and it has
:16:52. > :16:56.encouraged people to play but elsewhere, participation has
:16:56. > :17:05.fallen. 100,000 fewer people are playing now than few -- than four
:17:05. > :17:10.years ago. There are no female role models until recently with Laura
:17:10. > :17:15.Robson and Watson. That must have had an effect. Sport England reduced
:17:15. > :17:22.the funding by �7 million and not a -- and another 10 million will go a
:17:22. > :17:26.less participation improves. They have to improve the numbers. There
:17:26. > :17:31.are a lot of people in Britain across the entire country doing a
:17:31. > :17:35.lot of good work at grass roots level in tennis. Key is to give
:17:35. > :17:41.those people to support, the funding and the facilities to get those
:17:41. > :17:46.participation numbers up. A victory for British tennis or a train for
:17:46. > :17:55.team Murray? He isn't a product of the system, opting to join a tennis
:17:55. > :18:04.academy in Spain. Colleges and college sport is a huge thing in the
:18:04. > :18:08.States and they are willing to pile so much money into it. I feel like
:18:08. > :18:14.if you want to continue with education at a higher level as well,
:18:14. > :18:18.for me, it was better to find a good step -- school in the States. A site
:18:18. > :18:26.few have seen and thought they would never see. If tennis gets it right,
:18:26. > :18:30.there shouldn't be another 77 years for the next British winner.
:18:31. > :18:35.I don't think any of us will forget where we were when Andy Murray one
:18:35. > :18:39.Wimbledon. If the amount of young people tonight is anything to go
:18:39. > :18:44.by, the future is looking pretty bright for British tennis.
:18:44. > :18:53.It's all about Andy Murray today, of course. But take a look at these
:18:53. > :18:57.pictures from the Ladies Final at Wimbledon in 1961. Christine
:18:57. > :19:07.announced she was going to be a tennis player. Now hardly twice that
:19:07. > :19:10.
:19:10. > :19:14.age, she walks onto the Centre court as the number one seed. Christine
:19:14. > :19:22.Truman, now Christine Janes, lives in Aldeburgh. And she's also at
:19:22. > :19:32.Felixstowe now. You were there yesterday. How did it feel? It was
:19:32. > :19:33.
:19:33. > :19:39.amazing. I think he should be a certain now. Maybe it should be a
:19:39. > :19:46.name change at Wimbledon. Did you think we would really see a British
:19:46. > :19:50.man win Wimbledon was that a dream we all have? I think we all hoped
:19:50. > :19:55.Tim Henman would make it and when he didn't, we wondered if Greg Rusedski
:19:55. > :20:00.would make it. He was a Canadian but came -- became British and all of a
:20:00. > :20:05.sudden, and he was on the scene and he has been our big hope for the
:20:05. > :20:11.last five years. He got so close but so far away at the same time. He has
:20:11. > :20:17.closed that Gatland 's last year we saw with him -- and he closed that
:20:17. > :20:21.gap and last year we saw him with a gold at the Olympics. He had to do
:20:21. > :20:25.something about changing his winning record and he has done just that.
:20:25. > :20:31.There is a knack of winning like losing. I think he has won the knack
:20:31. > :20:39.of winning. We have heard the number of people who were playing tennis
:20:39. > :20:43.has fallen. What can we do?I wish I could answer that in one short
:20:43. > :20:48.sentence. A lot is being done but there is so many other temptations
:20:48. > :20:54.and destruction is now for children. So many other sports to try and it
:20:54. > :21:00.is a hard game. It is not a team game which is a disadvantage for
:21:00. > :21:06.schools. It is an individual game. You do need a racket, balls, indoor
:21:06. > :21:11.courts in the winter and this does make it expensive. A lot is being
:21:11. > :21:17.done to encourage youngsters. There are schemes in parks and clubs for
:21:17. > :21:27.juniors that are clearly free. It is that person to be inspired by Andy
:21:27. > :21:27.
:21:27. > :21:32.and to take a chance. It is a chance and there is a lot to sacrifice.
:21:32. > :21:38.A-levels and GCSEs come at a crucial time and no one can guarantee they
:21:38. > :21:42.will have success in any sport. It is a tremendous gamble and these are
:21:42. > :21:48.all... I am not making excuses but they are all things that have to be
:21:48. > :21:54.considered. It is fabulous to have you on the programme. Let's hope we
:21:54. > :21:58.don't have to wait another 77 years. Onto Wrest Park in Bedfordshire now.
:21:58. > :22:01.It's a stately home owned by English Heritage. And over the past few
:22:01. > :22:05.years it's attracted attention from across the country for a huge
:22:05. > :22:09.landscape gardening project which will take 20 years to complete. But
:22:09. > :22:14.today was all about the past rather than the present. This photograph
:22:14. > :22:24.was taken in 1903 and shows all the people who worked in the gardens.
:22:24. > :22:24.
:22:24. > :22:31.Today, the cameras came out again. Taken in 1903, black and white horse
:22:31. > :22:38.and carts on collars and ties. And the same steps, more than 100 years
:22:38. > :22:42.on, today's gardeners gathered for their photo. Men and women, mowers
:22:42. > :22:48.and their machines, employees and volunteers. There's lots more women
:22:48. > :22:57.in the short now a days and we all look the same. There is no

:25:41. > :25:45.worry about. We could have some low cloud and fog around first thing but
:25:45. > :25:51.it should burn off fairly quickly towards the coast and in many inland
:25:51. > :25:56.places, it is going to be a dry and warm day. Around parts of the coast,
:25:56. > :25:58.we could see some low cloud through the day and that will affect the
:25:58. > :26:04.temperatures here, especially as we are going to have that onshore
:26:04. > :26:08.breeze. Highs of 17 Celsius, especially where we have that mist
:26:08. > :26:18.and low cloud. Come inland where we have the sunny skies, temperatures
:26:18. > :26:18.
:26:18. > :26:22.could be as high as 26 Celsius. Mainly light north-easterly wind.
