:00:08. > :00:13.Good evening. On Look North tonight, more protesters parents this time
:00:13. > :00:18.take to the streets. A wage on the day school turns into an academy.
:00:19. > :00:22.They say they are -- they say their concerns have been ignored. We will
:00:22. > :00:27.hear from a local MP, who says the process of schools turning into
:00:27. > :00:34.academies needs changing. The seasonal fight against drunk
:00:34. > :00:39.and drink -- against drug and drink driving begins.
:00:39. > :00:46.And and you take on Old Masters. Who is in line for Yorkshire's
:00:46. > :00:56.biggest creative prize? A cold week to come. There could be
:00:56. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:03.some icy patches in the West. All Welcome to Look North. There is
:01:03. > :01:06.further controversy over the decision to turn a West Yorkshire
:01:06. > :01:10.school in to an academy. Today was the first day that Prince Henry's
:01:10. > :01:13.Grammar School in Otley no longer came under the control of Leeds
:01:13. > :01:16.City Council. They have been protests, we have been reporting on
:01:16. > :01:21.them, walkout by teachers and several of the governors have
:01:21. > :01:24.resigned. Now the local MP has got involved on the day it happened. He
:01:24. > :01:28.has written to the Education Secretary to complain about the way
:01:28. > :01:32.the whole process has been handled. We will hear from the head teacher,
:01:32. > :01:36.Janet Sheriff. First, here is Spencer Stokes.
:01:36. > :01:39.Academies are appearing all over the country. Some are welcomed,
:01:40. > :01:43.others are opposed. Bin Otley, the conversion of Prince Henry's
:01:43. > :01:47.Grammar School into an academy has been fiercely resisted. There have
:01:47. > :01:51.been strikes, public meetings and protests. Even today, with the
:01:51. > :01:56.battle finally lost, parents have been continuing their campaign at
:01:56. > :02:00.the school gates. They say they have simply been ignored. These
:02:00. > :02:02.parents believed that had they that hundreds of other has been allowed
:02:02. > :02:07.to vote on the issue then Prince Henrys would not have become an
:02:07. > :02:10.academy. The Education Secretary Michael Gove keeps saying he wants
:02:10. > :02:14.parents and teachers to be at the heart of decisions on education,
:02:14. > :02:18.but that must apply to everyone in the country apart from Otley
:02:18. > :02:22.because parents and teachers were ignored here. Governors vote stick
:02:22. > :02:25.-- governors voted by ten-nine to break from Leeds City Council but
:02:25. > :02:31.that lead to resignations from the governing body and six days of
:02:31. > :02:35.strike action. Today, Otley's MP, speaking for the first time, said
:02:35. > :02:39.the process of becoming an academy is that undemocratic and wants to
:02:39. > :02:42.see it reformed. The rules to changing to an academy were drawn
:02:42. > :02:46.up by Tony Blair's government. They were not fit for purpose then. They
:02:46. > :02:49.are not fit for purpose now. There should be clear rules that make
:02:49. > :02:53.sure that there is a two-thirds majority of any governing body who
:02:53. > :02:56.wishes to convert to an academy and then clear guidelines on what a
:02:56. > :02:59.consultation process should involve so that people do get the
:02:59. > :03:03.opportunity to express their views and can be confident that those few
:03:03. > :03:07.as well be properly heard. But any rule change will not affect Prince
:03:08. > :03:11.Henrys. It's officially an academy and will remain so for the next
:03:11. > :03:16.seven years at least. The school says moving from local authority
:03:16. > :03:20.control guarantees it an extra �42,000 every month, but that
:03:20. > :03:24.windfall will not all underpinned a classroom. Some of the cash will be
:03:24. > :03:29.spent on human resources support, strengthening the finance team and
:03:29. > :03:33.an external auditor. The conversion has been to visit. Even those who
:03:33. > :03:37.opposed the Academy now accept it is time to move on -- it has been
:03:37. > :03:42.divisive. People very -- people feel very hurt that this has
:03:42. > :03:47.occurred. We have to start building relationships again and making sure
:03:47. > :03:51.that we can work together in the future, going forward. Across
:03:51. > :03:55.Yorkshire another 100 schools want to become academies. Head teachers
:03:55. > :04:03.and governors may now be wondering if they too will see parents
:04:03. > :04:06.fighting with as much vigour as they have done in this small town.
:04:06. > :04:09.With us now is the head teacher of the new academy, Janet Sheriff.
:04:09. > :04:13.Your school has always been very much part of the community. What
:04:13. > :04:17.you have done at the moment is split the community in two, by the
:04:17. > :04:22.sound of it. Well, actually, we need to keep things in proportion.
:04:23. > :04:28.There are a group of the community who are being very vocal and very
:04:28. > :04:33.anxious about... Is it a small part of the community, or a big part? It
:04:33. > :04:36.seems to me the other majority. you put it into context we have
:04:36. > :04:41.done consultation, lots of consultation with our parents and a
:04:41. > :04:46.community. We wrote letters to nearly 3,000 parents and
:04:46. > :04:52.prospective parents and we wrote to them and asked them to send their
:04:52. > :04:57.views through an e-mail account, we asked them to two separate public
:04:57. > :05:02.meetings, we put a notice in the local paper and invited all members
:05:02. > :05:08.of the community to writing. many turned up to the meeting?
:05:08. > :05:11.had approximately 100, 100 to the first and just over hundred to the
:05:11. > :05:15.second and there were some mixed views. There was a lot of people
:05:15. > :05:18.who came to the meeting who had lots of concerns about the
:05:18. > :05:23.conversion to the Academy and the governors listened to those
:05:23. > :05:29.concerns. We had lots of e-mails that came in. Greg Mulholland has
:05:29. > :05:33.said the whole process is wrong, so is he wrong? Well, I am not at
:05:33. > :05:37.first to looking at the process of how Academy conversions take place
:05:37. > :05:42.but we, the governors and senior leadership team, we followed the
:05:42. > :05:45.democratic rules as they were set out, we followed the government's...
:05:45. > :05:49.Some of our viewers who don't know the detail will not know that quite
:05:49. > :05:53.a number of your governors actually resigned, so strongly did they feel.
:05:53. > :05:57.The governors did not support it all away. Some left as a result.
:05:57. > :06:00.All of the governors before the resignations, we all decided how we
:06:00. > :06:04.were going to go about doing the consultation process, we looked at
:06:04. > :06:07.the possibility of having... sure you did everything above board
:06:07. > :06:12.but the fact of the Matarrese that you split your governing body as
:06:12. > :06:16.Harris suggested and the community so much so that some of the
:06:16. > :06:19.governors resigned. Absolutely, I am really sorry that some of those
:06:19. > :06:22.governors chose to resign over this. We had some really valuable
:06:22. > :06:27.governors that had contributed a lot to the school but moving
:06:27. > :06:32.forward we have a governing structure now that has an even
:06:32. > :06:35.higher proportion of their elected parent and staff governors so did
:06:35. > :06:38.community representation will still be there and we would love to see
:06:38. > :06:43.some of the members of the community that have been anxious
:06:43. > :06:47.about academies to work with us and look positively towards the future.
:06:47. > :06:50.I think you could come a lot of parents and teachers down and they
:06:50. > :06:55.have contacted us directly, concerned that you will close down
:06:55. > :06:59.the swimming pool and cut staffing toffs -- costs by reducing salaries.
:06:59. > :07:05.Addressed this two issues. Both of those things because this is an
:07:05. > :07:09.example of some of the myths and misconceptions that has been
:07:09. > :07:14.propagated in recent weeks about what becoming an Academy means.
:07:14. > :07:18.First of all the swimming pool, the swimming pool is always come of the
:07:18. > :07:21.decade since it has opened, it has been funded by Leeds City Council.
:07:21. > :07:24.They fund community swimming. There has never been a time when schools
:07:25. > :07:29.budget can be used to fund community swimming soap
:07:29. > :07:34.Conversion... But has done nothing to do with this? Conversion does
:07:34. > :07:37.not affect this at all. It is a red herring. And staff salaries.
:07:37. > :07:41.Absolutely, we have given every assurance to staff and the unions
:07:41. > :07:45.that we have no intention of changing the terms and conditions
:07:45. > :07:48.or the pay grades of any of the staff. We want a career that
:07:48. > :07:52.forward. The reason we have converted to academy status is to
:07:52. > :07:55.try and build on the real strength of the school. It is a real
:07:56. > :08:00.community school and make sure that it is successful in the future.
:08:00. > :08:03.have to stop there, thank you very much indeed. At 10pm we will
:08:03. > :08:07.discuss the controversy surrounding the Academy's with a number of West
:08:07. > :08:11.Yorkshire's MPs. A mother whose son died when he was mown down by a
:08:11. > :08:14.drunk driver in this job for his begging people not to drink and
:08:14. > :08:18.drive. Karen Strong's 16-year-old son
:08:18. > :08:23.Jamie was killed on New Year's Eve. Karen, from Otley, says she never
:08:23. > :08:25.wants any other parent to suffer like she has. Her warning comes as
:08:25. > :08:29.two Yorkshire police forces launched their Christmas drink-
:08:29. > :08:32.driving campaigns. We will hear more about them in a moment but
:08:32. > :08:38.first, Ian White has an exclusive report.
:08:39. > :08:43.Karen Strong should be decided what to buy her son for Christmas.
:08:43. > :08:48.Instead she is visiting his grave. I have brought you here to meet my
:08:48. > :08:52.son, killed by a drink-driver last year. 16-year-old Jamie was killed
:08:52. > :08:56.last New Year's Eve. The man responsible, Max McRae, is in
:08:57. > :09:01.prison serving a four year sentence. He was twice over the link -- legal
:09:01. > :09:04.drink-drive limit, was speeding and had been on his mobile phone. Jamie
:09:04. > :09:10.was knocked down on the pavement while going to buy some Chinese
:09:10. > :09:15.food. His mother cradled him in her Rance for 45 minutes. He died in
:09:16. > :09:20.hospital Shotter before midnight. As everyone was singing Auld Lang
:09:20. > :09:24.Syne and wishing everyone a new year, I was breaking the news that
:09:24. > :09:30.the brother and Branson had been killed by a drunk driver. Because I
:09:30. > :09:33.saw so as much on New Year's Eve to do with Jamie, being with him for
:09:33. > :09:38.the last half an hour of his life, the things that doctors and nurses
:09:38. > :09:43.had to do to try to save him, I have flashbacks, I have nightmares,
:09:43. > :09:50.I have panic attacks, all because somebody got behind the wheel of a
:09:50. > :09:54.car after drinking too much. What are your feelings for a driver?
:09:54. > :09:59.couldn't possibly say. I don't want anything could happen to him
:09:59. > :10:03.because he doesn't know how much he has devastated our family,
:10:03. > :10:08.absolutely devastated us. Karen says the laws should be to from
:10:08. > :10:14.people who drink and drive. They are so wrong. There are so many
:10:14. > :10:16.flaws. If Max McRae had been stopped for drink-driving on New
:10:16. > :10:20.year's to eat he would have lost his licence straight away but
:10:20. > :10:24.because he went back one stage further and kill someone, he kept
:10:24. > :10:29.his driving licence until 11th August. The justice system is so
:10:29. > :10:33.wrong in this country. As Karen Strong prepares for the first
:10:33. > :10:38.anniversary of Jamie's death, she hopes telling her story to Look
:10:38. > :10:41.North will stop another story going through the same from a. From a
:10:41. > :10:45.police perspective they cannot get the message through which is why I
:10:45. > :10:48.felt strongly I needed to bring you down here to meet Jamie, to get
:10:48. > :10:55.somebody not to get behind the wheel this party season. It would
:10:55. > :10:59.mean the world to me. That was Karen Strong talking to
:10:59. > :11:04.Ian Wright. It is sad stories like this one, and there are many more,
:11:04. > :11:10.which make the police anti- drugs and drink-driving campaigns so
:11:10. > :11:14.relevant this Christmas. Two of our forces launched their campaigns
:11:14. > :11:24.today and South Yorkshire's has the hallmarks of the James Bond film as
:11:24. > :11:28.
:11:28. > :11:31.James, are you sure you should Well, that should have shaken if
:11:31. > :11:36.not stirred them in South Yorkshire. Meanwhile here in North Yorkshire
:11:36. > :11:41.this year's Christmas safety campaign you might say is more of,
:11:41. > :11:45.well, California dreaming. Tabak cast -- Tadcaster based traffic
:11:45. > :11:50.constable Yvonne Taylor has spent three weeks in Sacramento learning
:11:50. > :11:53.very special new skills. Now she is one of just seven drug recognition
:11:53. > :11:57.experts in the country. It has given me a broader knowledge of
:11:57. > :12:02.each individual category of drugs and what they particularly do to
:12:02. > :12:06.the body. This car wreck from last Christmas in the Skipton airier is
:12:06. > :12:09.a stark reminder of the problems faced by Yvonne Taylor and her
:12:09. > :12:14.colleagues. But now she can bring her specialist drugs detection
:12:14. > :12:19.skills to the roads as she shows in this stage demonstration. Can you
:12:19. > :12:24.tell me if you have had anything alcoholic drink today? No. Nothing
:12:24. > :12:27.at all? When I tell you I would like to raise your right foot six
:12:27. > :12:31.to eight inches off the ground, keeping your legs stayed with your
:12:31. > :12:36.foot parallel to the ground. You would tip -- touched the tip of
:12:36. > :12:40.your nose with your finger. That is a series of tests, divided
:12:40. > :12:44.attention tests, which asks people to do something physical whilst
:12:44. > :12:47.using their brain as well to think about something. It divides the
:12:47. > :12:51.retention and it helps us to identify whether they may be a
:12:51. > :12:55.beard -- under the influence of drugs. She has reached a high level
:12:55. > :12:58.of expertise in relation to her training. We are delighted she is
:12:58. > :13:03.doing the work for us. Hopefully we will get the message to drivers who
:13:03. > :13:06.are taking drugs, illegally in its own right, that they are lethal and
:13:06. > :13:11.dangerous behind the wheel of a car. Police say drug and drunken drivers
:13:11. > :13:21.will be caught this disc -- Christmas. They believe Yvonne
:13:21. > :13:27.Taylor's new expertise can help Later on Look North. The final
:13:27. > :13:31.journey home. Rifleman Sheldon Steel from Leeds is given for not -

:13:42. > :13:47.Ishaq Hussain was accused of plotting to kill off 17-year-old
:13:47. > :13:50.Laura Wilson with a friend. Laura's body was found in the South

:14:02. > :14:07.attack on an 84-year-old woman in Leyburn in North Yorkshire on
:14:07. > :14:10.Monday. The woman has been charged with attempted murder and appeared

:15:31. > :15:37.he stood out in many ways. A man not of one of his goal's most
:15:37. > :15:43.successful football teams, a gifted student with 11 GCSE ease. He
:15:43. > :15:49.started doing A-levels, but chose a soldier's life, and died a sort
:15:49. > :15:54.of's death. He it is tough, because you have mixed emotions. Proud of
:15:54. > :15:59.him for what he did, but sad, for the family, because we know the
:15:59. > :16:04.family and still teach one of his sisters. His brother is still in
:16:04. > :16:08.school. We are aware of how it affects them and the community.
:16:08. > :16:15.As a community, they mourn him. As a community, they half-expected
:16:15. > :16:19.this. If not Sheldon, another brother, another son you hear it on
:16:19. > :16:24.the news weekly if not every other night, there has been a death or
:16:24. > :16:28.somebody killed in action. Because we have so many students at the
:16:28. > :16:33.school who have gone into the forces, you think one day it will
:16:33. > :16:37.be somebody we know. This is an area with a long and
:16:37. > :16:42.proud tradition of service. Many people live here who have been or

:16:53. > :16:57.Steel, made the ultimate sacrifice. Before 7:00pm.

:17:28. > :17:33.everybody. Clubs up and down the country will be paying their
:17:33. > :17:37.respects, there will be applause at all the matches, and at Leeds
:17:37. > :17:41.United and Sheffield United we have seen scarves and flowers and shouts
:17:41. > :17:46.being laid all week as a mark of their respect for him. They are
:17:46. > :17:50.planning special tributes to their own former player and former
:17:50. > :17:55.manager. He started his career at Leeds United. They are going to
:17:55. > :18:01.name a sweet after him, and ahead of their match at Millwall there
:18:01. > :18:07.will be a minute's applause. Gary McAllister, Gordon Strachan, will
:18:07. > :18:10.be on the pitch. How popular he was. Yes, they will
:18:10. > :18:15.they wreath at either end of the ground, and you will have the
:18:15. > :18:20.chanting from the fans. We also have a special match-day programme,
:18:20. > :18:25.and they are saying to people, do keep bringing the shouts. Down at
:18:25. > :18:28.Sheffield United, they will have a minute's applause and they will
:18:28. > :18:34.have wreath laid by Chris Morgan and the former Welsh international
:18:34. > :18:38.Robert Page. Match-day programmes are being dedicated to him, black
:18:38. > :18:42.armbands up and down the country are being warned. At Sheffield
:18:42. > :18:49.United Babel have images of Gary Speed in the car-park until the
:18:49. > :18:52.rest of the season. Elsewhere, Doncaster's Taekwondo
:18:52. > :18:56.type world champion Sarah Stevenson has forced a disappointment for the
:18:56. > :19:00.lack of any woman on the shortlist for the BBC Sports Personality of
:19:00. > :19:03.the Year. She won the world title against the backdrop of finding out
:19:03. > :19:08.babble of her parents were terminally ill. Since she won gold
:19:08. > :19:12.in May, bald and have passed away. She feels that editors who have
:19:12. > :19:18.voted for the award need to look at the lesser known sports. There are
:19:18. > :19:23.people out there that care the best in their sport, and they deserve to
:19:23. > :19:28.be recognised for that. It is going to be difficult for me to get
:19:28. > :19:33.another chance, I think, because even if I won gold in 2012 there
:19:33. > :19:37.will be so many other sports where people will get gold in higher
:19:37. > :19:40.profile sports. So it is a lost opportunity, I think.
:19:40. > :19:43.The trainers of a North Yorkshire horse are travelling to a
:19:43. > :19:48.prestigious awards ceremony in London tonight in the hope of
:19:48. > :19:53.coming home with silverware. Almaty Express from Middleham is a nominee
:19:53. > :19:59.in the all weather category. But he would be nothing without help from
:19:59. > :20:04.a special friend. Meet Almaty Express, nominated for
:20:04. > :20:13.an award in the all-weather horse category. His unusual stablemate is
:20:13. > :20:16.a god called Billy. He has agog as at Jan -- a companion. During
:20:17. > :20:21.summer time it is fine because he goes out in the paddock every day,
:20:21. > :20:26.but the goat keeps him happy. When his breed more money, and you get
:20:26. > :20:31.more owners come to the yard, so when this is what it is all about.
:20:31. > :20:37.He has not shown nerds at Wolverhampton. He has chalked up
:20:38. > :20:42.more wins than any other horse since 1993. Above the stables in
:20:42. > :20:48.Middleham, a horse prepares for his next race. His success on the track
:20:48. > :20:52.means John, whose dad and grandad were both trainers, will attend the
:20:52. > :20:59.racehorse owners' awards at London's Park Lane Hilton. The
:20:59. > :21:06.family tradition began with any's dad Jack. After the Second World
:21:06. > :21:12.War he got a trainer's licence. Unfortunately he died when I was 23
:21:12. > :21:17.years old, he died in 1958. That would make you the youngest trainer
:21:17. > :21:20.of the country? I was, I was the youngest trainer. And visitors to
:21:20. > :21:26.the trainers can always hear when things are going well. Every time
:21:26. > :21:31.we have a winner we ring the spell. This is one of the first main --
:21:31. > :21:34.racing stables in Middleham, and the rest a round used to have one
:21:34. > :21:42.as well and they used to bring whenever there was a winner. But
:21:42. > :21:50.this is the only one left and in use. No horses are invited to the
:21:50. > :21:55.awards, but if he wins, he will get a few of these.
:21:55. > :22:01.If he wins, he would dedicate the award to Billy! It is a joint
:22:01. > :22:04.effort. Sir Elton John will be performing
:22:04. > :22:09.in Harrogate for the first time next summer.
:22:09. > :22:15.Sir Elton and his band will bring their live show to the main stadium
:22:15. > :22:20.at Great Yorkshire Showground. It is on 5th June, 2012. He is the
:22:20. > :22:25.first artist to perform there. are elated to get the news that he
:22:25. > :22:30.will be here in our main stadium, it is the first time we have had
:22:30. > :22:37.somebody here doing a concert. We have horses, showjumping, but never
:22:37. > :22:44.a concert. My favourite Elton John track is
:22:44. > :22:49.Philadelphia Freedom. The Northern Art Prize is a
:22:49. > :22:53.region's answer to the Turner Prize. It awards one northern artist every
:22:53. > :22:58.year after a rigorous selection procedure for shortlisted artists
:22:58. > :23:02.have their work on show at the City Art Gallery.
:23:02. > :23:12.Now as week we saw the work of two of them, now Cathy Killick can
:23:12. > :23:18.
:23:18. > :23:23.introduce us to the wacky work of The Northern art prize totals
:23:23. > :23:30.�20,000. For artists are vying to win, last week we concentrated on
:23:30. > :23:34.two of them, this week it is the turn of the other two.
:23:34. > :23:38.Leo Fitzmaurice likes to reorganise familiar objects to give an you
:23:39. > :23:43.take on things we are used to. He has done that here, rearranging old
:23:43. > :23:51.masters from the Leeds collection to get a huge new landscape called
:23:51. > :23:58.Horizon. This is the other part of Leo's show. He has built a shipping
:23:58. > :24:04.crate, and inside is a slide show of seven years' worth of photos. He
:24:04. > :24:10.has taken them on a mobile phone. They tell a story of how my mind
:24:10. > :24:16.works, in a way similar to the paintings, it was an editing
:24:16. > :24:21.process. When you go out into the world you see things in and unite.
:24:21. > :24:25.Richard rick is the youngest shortlisted artist. He uses
:24:25. > :24:30.carpentry among other skills to make play for sculptures.
:24:30. > :24:35.A I cannot deny that art can be bewildering at times, and here it
:24:35. > :24:41.is as if the artist is playing with that idea. Chairs, that are not
:24:41. > :24:48.shares. It is a visual puzzle which becomes a mental puzzle. What is it
:24:48. > :24:53.all about? I do not know, but they are very beautifully made. I think
:24:53. > :25:01.it is slightly unsettling. So you want to unsettle people? Are not
:25:01. > :25:06.immensely, but do I do not have any aims to do that. It would be nice
:25:06. > :25:12.if that was the upshot. The his exhibition is free and open
:25:12. > :25:22.to all. All you need to bring it is an open mind and let it wonder. It
:25:22. > :25:32.
:25:32. > :25:36.Can I ask you something? Everybody has been talking about
:25:36. > :25:41.drought. How are we with water here?
:25:41. > :25:48.We are all right, Yorkshire Water issued a statement estate stocks
:25:48. > :25:55.are 75%. The eastern side has been dry, the driest November on record.
:25:55. > :26:05.We are doing OK at the moment. This is from a gym and is a lovely shot
:26:05. > :26:08.
:26:08. > :26:13.of Whitby. -- This is from June. Keep your pictures coming in.
:26:13. > :26:17.Tomorrow we so see some sunshine, it will turn to -- it will tend to
:26:17. > :26:21.cloud of a. Our weather system brings some rain in from the West,
:26:21. > :26:27.and then over the weekend it turns unsettled. Derby next week a cold
:26:27. > :26:31.snap. The first snow of the season in the form of showers. Not too
:26:31. > :26:35.many problems. At the moment there is a problem in the fact that we
:26:35. > :26:39.have scattered showers across the Pennines. They have been persistent
:26:39. > :26:44.over the last few hours and will clear away, but a skies clear there
:26:44. > :26:48.could be a problem later tonight. The cloud gradually melts away, a
:26:48. > :26:52.widespread frost across Yorkshire tonight, and where there has been
:26:52. > :26:57.showers across the Pennines look out for icy patches after midnight,
:26:57. > :27:04.towards dawn tomorrow morning. Temperatures from zero to-two
:27:04. > :27:10.Celsius. The sun will rise in the morning at 8:02am. Those are your
:27:10. > :27:14.high water times. Watch out for that Frost, a few icy patches. The
:27:14. > :27:18.best sunshine tomorrow will be in eastern areas. Further west, one or
:27:18. > :27:23.two showers possible. It will cloud of a from the West by the end of
