Good evening from Look North. That is it for now. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The head teacher of the West Yorkshire school, recently featured | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
on Channel Four's Educating Yorkshire TV series, says school | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
inspectors are creating a "climate of fear". He has called for reform | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
of the system of testing and supporting schools to improve. Our | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
political editor Len Tingle takes up the story. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
In two years, under the leadership of charismatic head teacher John | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Mitchell, Thornhill Community Academy in Dewsbury jumped from | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
being rated amongst the bottom % of schools in the country, and is now | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
in the top 6%. He says that is no thanks to the advice of school | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
inspectors from the governmdnt agency Ofsted. | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
There is a culture of fear `mong the teaching profession, with vdry short | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
notice inspection, they comd in lessons are observed. And sometimes | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
a teacher will be able to tdach a lesson which, on the face of it is | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
very good indeed, maybe even outstanding, yet their outcomes | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
suggest over time the teachhng can't be better than good, or reqtires | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
improvement. On today's Sunday Politics, the head | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
of Ofsted for Yorkshire and the signature was asked why so lany head | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
teachers distrust the results of the inspectors' work. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
Everyone would accept that `n Ofsted inspection is stressful timd for | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
head teachers and teachers. I also think most head teachers and | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
governing bodies and local `nd national politicians would say that | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
parents have the right to know about the quality of the schools that they | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
might send their children to. So, yes, there is stress, but it is | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
absolutely necessary we hold schools to account. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
Nationally, Ofsted has annotnced it will make fewer inspections to good | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
schools, concentrating on those seem to be struggling. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
It's been confirmed that thd body of a man found in the River Foss in | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
York on Friday is that of mhssing Leeds man, Ben Clarkson. 22`year`old | :02:01. | :02:04. | |

After his body was found, hhs girlfriend, Rachel Peatfield, issued | :02:10. | :02:11. | |

Awad, also known as Kid Gal`had claimed the European super | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
bantamweight title last night, with a convincing unanimous decision over | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Spain's Sergio Prado. 24`ye`r`old Galahad dominated from start to | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
finish, and Prado had no answer for the speed and skill of his opponent. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Galahad, though, says he never underestimated his rival. | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
He came to win, he knew it was a big opportunity come he came prdpared. | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
He came to fight, to try to beat me. And I had to be on my best. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
