:00:06. > :00:19.Welcome. And I'm Rob Smith. I'm Natalie Graham. Tonight's top
:00:19. > :00:22.stories. Turmoil at two of our grammar schools. Chatham Boys
:00:22. > :00:28.becomes only the second grammar in the country to be put in special
:00:28. > :00:34.measures. In my child's year, they had to put in crowd controllers
:00:34. > :00:38.alongside the teachers. In Cranbrook, the head of one of the
:00:38. > :00:40.most popular schools in the county is coming under pressure to go
:00:40. > :00:43.after only a year in charge. The door is always open for students to
:00:43. > :00:50.come and talk to me. Likewise parents and staff, as well. We'll
:00:50. > :00:52.be live in both towns with the details. Also in tonight's
:00:52. > :00:54.programme. Another six arrests at Balcombe takes the total above 100
:00:54. > :01:02.as anti—fracking protesters ignore an eviction notice ordering them to
:01:02. > :01:04.leave. Back in the UK, we speak to Holly—Ann Schofield about her
:01:04. > :01:07.recovery after being hit by a speedboat in Greece. And back on
:01:07. > :01:10.track. Celebrations as a steam train travels from Victoria to East
:01:10. > :01:24.Grinstead for the first time in half a century. Good evening.
:01:24. > :01:30.Tonight two Kent grammar schools are facing turmoil and uncertainty.
:01:30. > :01:33.In Medway one has been placed in special measures and in Cranbrook
:01:33. > :01:36.another has a head teacher under pressure to leave after just a year
:01:36. > :01:40.in charge. Chatham Boys is only the second grammar in the country to be
:01:40. > :01:43.judged as failing. Ofsted inspectors say it is not giving its
:01:43. > :01:46.pupils an acceptable standard of education. They
:01:46. > :02:02.pupils an acceptable standard of school's management and leadership
:02:02. > :02:04.as inadequate. In Cranbrook, more than 600 people, including pupils
:02:04. > :02:08.and staff, have signed a petition calling for the removal of the head
:02:08. > :02:10.teacher. In a moment, we'll be crossing live to Roz Upton, in
:02:10. > :02:12.Cranbrook, and Simon Jones in Chatham but first, here's Simon's
:02:13. > :02:16.report. A school ment for high—flyers,
:02:16. > :02:20.where teaching, achievement and pupil behaviour is not good enough.
:02:20. > :02:24.Darren joined in the sixth form but is having to repeat the year, due
:02:24. > :02:28.to under—achievement. A lot of my friends were not happy with how it
:02:28. > :02:32.was run and have left and have changed to different schools or
:02:32. > :02:35.college. Were you tempted to go?I was but I thought I would stick
:02:35. > :02:44.with it and I might change next year. One I heard that, I am like,
:02:44. > :02:48.why did we let him change? Of Steph found the school is failing to give
:02:48. > :02:52.pupils an acceptable standard of education. Leadership and
:02:52. > :02:56.management are inadequate. Students get bored, and that slows
:02:56. > :07:49.Another entry is from someone saying they are partner of a member
:07:49. > :07:56.of staff. There was the threat of disciplinary action to staff if
:07:56. > :08:00.they signed the petition or do or indicate any support for it.
:08:00. > :08:16.Another said... I respect their opinion. It is
:08:16. > :08:20.important to respond. The door is always open for students to come to
:08:20. > :08:26.talk to me about things they have concerns about and like wise the
:08:26. > :08:31.parents and staff. Cranbrook's ethos has been to encourage pupils
:08:31. > :08:38.to achieve their full potential in the classroom and in broad of walks
:08:38. > :08:42.of life. Respect to pupils today and none of them wanted to go on
:08:42. > :08:47.camera. They say they are worried about repercussions. They told us
:08:47. > :08:53.that the head teacher is ruling the school by fear and they said he had
:08:53. > :08:56.lost touch with the Cranbrook ethos, turning school into an examination
:08:56. > :09:02.factory, and they want the old school back. Coming up at the
:09:02. > :09:08.moment. Poor management and not enough staff. An inquest hears
:09:09. > :09:20.evidence into the deaths of 19 elderly people at a Sussex care
:09:20. > :09:23.home. A convicted killer says he was wrongly jailed for 25 years
:09:23. > :09:26.because of a Government cover—up in the 1970s. Paul Cleeland, who lives
:09:26. > :09:28.in Folkestone, was sent to prison in 1972 for murdering gangland
:09:28. > :09:31.leader Terry Clarke. Mr Cleeland claims forensic tests carried out
:09:31. > :09:44.on his clothing were flawed and were known to be so. Colin Campbell
:09:44. > :09:48.has the story. Paul Cleeland has been fighting to
:09:48. > :09:55.clear his name for 40 years. The latest attempt relies on evidence
:09:55. > :10:01.failings identified in the bloody Sunday inquiry. The victims of
:10:01. > :10:06.bloody Sunday, where they lose the Test, they have been cleared. Every
:10:06. > :10:16.one of the victims was cleared of handling firearms and firing farms.
:10:16. > :10:21.Why not me? —— firearms. Man macro spent 25 years in prison for
:10:21. > :10:30.killing gangland leader Terry Clarke. —— Paul Cleeland. In 1972 a
:10:30. > :10:34.test was conducted on his clothing. It identified traces of lead he
:10:34. > :10:38.says proved pivotal in the conviction. The test was used on
:10:38. > :10:46.civilians shot dead by British troops during Bloody Sunday also in
:10:46. > :10:49.1972. It suggested civilians had used all were close to those using
:10:49. > :10:54.guns, but that was later proven not to be the case. The evidence in
:10:54. > :10:59.that inquiry revealed the test could not identify or gunfire
:10:59. > :11:05.residue. It has had an elevated status. That is these data supplied
:11:05. > :11:11.back in the 1970s was one that if there is a positive finding for the
:11:11. > :11:16.Test, there is a firearms discharge me as you. It is not that simple.
:11:16. > :11:21.There are test stopped being used in the mid— 1970s. An independent
:11:21. > :11:25.review this year suggests there has been no miscarriage of justice.
:11:25. > :11:32.Paul Cleeland does not accept these findings. He insists the evidence
:11:32. > :11:37.exists to prove he is not guilty. Now, they would have to admit that
:11:37. > :11:48.the Bloody Sunday, Bowe's victims, they knew at the time that this was
:11:48. > :11:52.—— all of those victims,. It now has to be decided whether it will
:11:52. > :11:56.be referred to the Court of Appeal. Farmers in Sussex want more action
:11:56. > :12:01.from the National Parks Authority to stop dogs attacking sheep on the
:12:01. > :12:05.South Downs. They say attacks have been increased since land was
:12:05. > :12:14.incorporated into the national park because people wrongly believe they
:12:14. > :12:17.can allow animals to run freely. Off—licences will be banned from
:12:17. > :12:19.selling high—strength alcohol across large parts of Hastings.
:12:19. > :12:22.Shops are being asked to change their licences to prevent the sale
:12:22. > :12:24.of beer and cider over 6.5%. Hastings Council is the first
:12:24. > :12:34.authority in Sussex to introduce such a ban. Four NHS trusts are to
:12:34. > :12:40.receive almost £15 million between them in extra funding to help with
:12:40. > :12:43.winter planning. Medway NHS trust will receive the largest amount
:12:43. > :12:49.along with Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, Dartford,
:12:49. > :12:56.Gravesham and East Sussex health care. It is part of a government
:12:56. > :12:58.fund distributed across the country. Anti—fracking protesters in
:12:58. > :13:01.Balcombe have ignored an eviction notice ordering them to leave. West
:13:01. > :13:04.Sussex County Council served the order yesterday at the site where
:13:04. > :13:07.the company Cuadrilla is carrying out exploratory drilling for oil.
:13:07. > :13:09.Sussex Police made six more arrests there today, bringing the total
:13:09. > :13:12.since the protests began two months ago, to more than a hundred.
:13:12. > :13:14.Campaigners say the drilling is environmentally unsafe and they
:13:14. > :13:21.won't leave until Cuadrilla do. Police say they set aside an area
:13:21. > :13:27.for police —— for a peaceful process but some of the activities
:13:27. > :13:38.of the protesters are having impact on the locality.
:13:38. > :13:44.The deliveries keep on coming. Protesters were told to pack up and
:13:44. > :13:51.leave by 9am. Demonstrators ignored the eviction order. As we see it,
:13:51. > :13:54.it was not an eviction order. It was a request that we leave before
:13:54. > :14:00.they begin legal proceedings to provide us with an eviction order.
:14:00. > :14:06.Up until the sport macro, we have not received an order, we have
:14:06. > :14:15.received a request to leave —— up until this point. The eviction was
:14:15. > :14:19.issued at 10am yesterday. It was served five hours later. Protesters
:14:19. > :14:31.raised their voices in an attempt to lift spirits. Moments later, the
:14:31. > :14:34.police moved in. This man is believed to be the first person
:14:34. > :14:43.from the village to have been arrested during this anti—fracking
:14:43. > :14:47.campaign. The villagers are worried about not being able to sleep
:14:47. > :14:50.because of the sound of drilling, much more that them protesting down
:14:50. > :14:56.the road. There were more delays when a man padlocked himself around
:14:56. > :15:08.the neck to a caravan. Police released in one hour later. The
:15:08. > :15:12.daughter of a pensioner who died in 2010 at a West Sussex care home has
:15:12. > :15:15.told an inquest she believed her mother died after being given too
:15:15. > :15:18.much of her medication. The inquest in Horsham is looking into the
:15:18. > :15:23.deaths of 19 residents at Orchid View care home in Copthorne. Today
:15:23. > :15:26.the daughters of Jean Halfpenny, a former resident at the home, told
:15:26. > :15:29.the inquest that at times her mother was not washed or given her
:15:29. > :15:33.breakfast and there was poor management and not enough care
:15:33. > :15:38.staff at the home. Jean Halfpenny died from a blood clot to the brain.
:15:38. > :15:43.Until her death she lived at Orchid View in Copthorne. Today her
:15:43. > :15:46.daughters and the families of 80 another residents began to give
:15:46. > :15:51.evidence at the inquest. With complaints residents were not wash,
:15:51. > :15:56.sometimes not bed, or cleaned when they sold themselves, families
:15:56. > :16:12.began to paint a picture of neglect. There is a pattern of Paul —— poor
:16:12. > :16:18.care. Pressure sores seem to be recurrent. And medication issues.
:16:18. > :16:21.There is real concern. This is something spread throughout the
:16:21. > :16:25.care home and not just the individual family member. The home
:16:25. > :16:29.closed in 2011 after an investigation found it had failed
:16:29. > :16:35.to meet the standard of quality and safety. Giving evidence, the
:16:35. > :16:39.daughter of Jean Halfpenny, Louise Halfpenny, catalogued what she said
:16:39. > :16:43.was the poor care her mother received. She said a visiting
:16:43. > :16:48.social workers saw her mother naked and crying in bed because she was
:16:48. > :16:55.cold. Another time, it took staff 40 minutes to attend her mother's
:16:55. > :17:07.call bells. With others to give evidence, the inquest is expected
:17:07. > :17:12.to last three weeks. The top story. The turmoil at two Grammar schools.
:17:12. > :17:17.Short macro has been placed in special measures, only the second
:17:17. > :17:26.grammar school in the country to be judged as failing by Ofsted.
:17:26. > :17:31.Cranbrook School, 600 people have signed a petition calling for the
:17:31. > :17:35.removal of the head teacher. And the multi—million pound project to
:17:35. > :17:39.protect precious artifacts at Dover Castle from a leaking roof. And
:17:39. > :17:49.there is some sunshine around tomorrow, but it will be short
:17:49. > :17:52.lived. A Sussex woman who nearly died after being hit by a speedboat
:17:52. > :17:55.in greece is now back in the UK after a campaign by friends and
:17:55. > :18:00.family raised thousands to bring her back home. Holly—Ann Schofield
:18:00. > :18:05.was in a coma for three weeks after the incident in Rhodes. While she
:18:05. > :18:08.was covered for medical help in Greece, her family wanted to bring
:18:08. > :18:11.her back to the UK to look after her as she recovers. She has spoken
:18:11. > :18:20.exclusively to our reporter Rebecca Williams.
:18:20. > :18:25.Getting ready to board an aeroplane back to the UK, Holly—Ann Schofield
:18:25. > :18:30.spent three weeks in a coma after being hit by a speedboat and her
:18:30. > :18:35.family raised thousands of pounds to fly her home. When I got to
:18:35. > :18:39.Heathrow and got off the plane for the final time, I burst into tears.
:18:39. > :18:52.I was crying with the Shia release of the last five weeks and been
:18:52. > :18:56.back in England —— sheer. We have never had a ghastly accident like
:18:56. > :19:03.this in all of our lives and I was thunderstruck. Holly—Ann Schofield
:19:03. > :19:08.was hit by the speedboat in July and had to be flown to Athens for
:19:08. > :19:14.emergency surgery. On 21st August, she regained consciousness after
:19:14. > :19:21.being in a coma for three weeks. I was swimming in their familiar area
:19:21. > :19:25.and I am a good swimmer. It was a place I swam all the time ——
:19:25. > :19:30.swimming in a familiar area. It was a freak accident. She had been
:19:30. > :19:33.living in Greece for 18 months but did not have insurance. The cost of
:19:33. > :19:38.living in Greece for 18 months but care and flights mounted. If you
:19:38. > :19:42.need to be flown home by ambulance it can be thousands of pounds and
:19:42. > :19:46.often the cost of getting you back is more than the cost of treating
:19:46. > :19:52.you in the first place. How sister flew out to be by her bedside. She
:19:52. > :19:56.also raised money for her care. We had one day to fundraised and get
:19:56. > :20:01.30 grand but when you know somebody will die, you do not care and you
:20:01. > :20:07.go into action mode. For some reason, everything took off and my
:20:07. > :20:12.daughter chose the name, help for Holly and everybody stepped in. It
:20:12. > :20:19.was amazing. Holly—Ann Schofield will continue to be treated here in
:20:19. > :20:23.Brighton. Rebecca joins us. If she expected to make a complete
:20:23. > :20:29.recovery? The they do not yet know and they do not know how long she
:20:29. > :20:32.will be treated for. It is expected to be months and she will not be
:20:32. > :20:38.able to walk again for eight weeks. It has been stressful for her
:20:38. > :20:45.family. Her mother in her eighties had to simply wait at home Finney's
:20:45. > :20:52.to come in from Greece. Her sister said —— wait at home for news from
:20:52. > :20:54.Greece. Holly—Ann Schofield said she will be staying in Brighton
:20:54. > :21:10.with her friends and family around her. It was a step back in time and
:21:10. > :21:20.also a great leap forward for steam train enthusiasts in Sussex. For
:21:20. > :21:22.the first time in half a century a steam train travelled from London
:21:22. > :21:25.Victoria through East Grinstead and onto the Bluebell Railway. It has
:21:25. > :21:28.taken decades of work and dreaming by volunteers to rebuilt the line
:21:28. > :21:31.which closed in the 1960s. Robin Gibson was on board.
:21:31. > :21:34.Coming out of the past. The first steam train to run from the London
:21:34. > :21:39.mainline directly on to the Bluebell Line at East Grinstead.
:21:39. > :21:44.Nostalgia and excitement all around. History re created, promising all
:21:44. > :21:54.sorts of possibilities for the future of the volunteer line. It is
:21:54. > :22:02.a living beast. It closed in 1958. With its reopening and achieving
:22:02. > :22:08.what they have to get its stations open again is spectacular. The
:22:08. > :22:16.living beast down the front today is the locomotive tornado. It is
:22:16. > :22:23.very hard work. I am breaking the clean cut off the bar so that the
:22:23. > :22:30.fire can breathe properly —— clinker. If we do not do this we
:22:30. > :22:36.will struggle to get a good fire. Being so close to this locomotive
:22:36. > :22:41.is like a voyage into the past. But an argument says that it is the
:22:41. > :22:47.newest locomotive on the system. It was built by volunteers. A replica
:22:47. > :22:52.completed in 2008. There has been no passenger express locomotive
:22:52. > :22:57.brought on to Britain's railways, so this is the newest. They have
:22:57. > :23:04.come a long way down the tracks to reconnect to the main network. What
:23:04. > :23:06.now? It is a tourist railway. But it does open up possibilities for
:23:06. > :23:20.through trains coming in starting here to go to other places.
:23:20. > :23:23.A railway dream come true. Conservation work costing millions
:23:23. > :23:35.of pounds is under way to restore and protect a royal bedchamber in
:23:35. > :23:36.Kent. The room at the heart of Dover Castle, was built by King
:23:36. > :23:46.Henry II. And and other items within the chamber
:23:46. > :23:50.he once occupied, are being protected so repair work can begin.
:23:50. > :23:53.But there's a problem. The room has sprung a leak. Imagine spending
:23:53. > :23:59.money to make sure your castle was spent —— back made fit for a king.
:23:59. > :24:03.Now there is an lead in the royal Bedchamber. We have just wrapped
:24:03. > :24:09.the plastic over the top of their hanging. We are using, for a quick
:24:09. > :24:14.situation, because it will not be up for long, we are pegging the
:24:14. > :24:20.plastic together. That is to try to stop dust when they come to clean
:24:20. > :24:24.the ceiling. The wall—hangings and furniture are hand—made using
:24:24. > :24:34.natural materials to recreate the medieval magic of King Henry's
:24:34. > :24:41.sumptuous rooms. This has to be put under wraps while the ceiling is
:24:41. > :24:45.fixed. Some of the faces of the brick work has been flaking. It
:24:45. > :24:51.should not be too bad. It is where water leaked through. We need to
:24:51. > :25:05.make sure for public safety that we do not have any pieces of brick
:25:05. > :25:11.coming down. Hollywood used Dover Castle in a film, a tale of two
:25:11. > :25:16.sisters who plotted for the attention of Henry VIII. The real—
:25:16. > :25:22.life Tudor king is thought to have used the castle, created by his
:25:22. > :25:28.predecessor for pilgrims visiting Canterbury. Henry built the tower
:25:28. > :25:32.to give accommodation to the pilgrims in the best possible
:25:32. > :25:36.manner. It was very special accommodation. This was the first
:25:36. > :25:43.place they would stop on arriving in England. The they have two days
:25:43. > :25:57.to cover everything in plastic. Only then can the conservation team
:25:57. > :26:02.say that is a rap. — wrap. They could do with some dry weather.
:26:02. > :26:07.I am afraid that across Kent particularly today we saw an
:26:07. > :26:13.outbreak of rain. By the afternoon, more cloud around. It was feeling
:26:13. > :26:20.fresh. Temperatures with the north— westerly breeze around 15, 16
:26:21. > :26:24.degrees. Through the rest of this evening we will lose the rain. It
:26:24. > :26:28.will be wet for the first part of the night and overnight, where we
:26:28. > :26:36.see clear skies, temperatures dropping to single figures. Around
:26:36. > :26:41.nine degrees. First thing tomorrow morning, the best of the dry
:26:41. > :26:47.weather, eventually by the afternoon, rain. Low pressure
:26:47. > :26:52.pulling away. But another moving southwards as we head through the
:26:52. > :26:58.day. During daylight, we should be staying dry. Cloud around first
:26:58. > :27:03.thing. Breaks in the cloud. We see full live sunshine. By the
:27:03. > :27:08.afternoon, further cloud. We start to see outbreaks of rain.
:27:08. > :27:13.Temperatures feeling fresh. Always tempered by the North westerly
:27:13. > :27:18.breezes, the temperatures. Tomorrow night, increasingly unsettled.
:27:18. > :27:23.Eventually, we will be used the rain. A damp and cloudy night.
:27:23. > :27:28.Temperatures dropping to 11 degrees. On Thursday, outbreaks of rain
:27:28. > :27:35.during the morning and it will be dry for a time and their more rain.
:27:35. > :27:43.On Friday, it is looking very wet. —— then more rain.
:27:43. > :27:49.I am almost starting to miss the hot and sunny days I complained
:27:49. > :27:50.about! I will be back at 8:00pm and 10:25pm. Good night.
