“All this article looks at is the final tables and undertakes no proper analysis of the data, as is the norm for HDM. How many schools have actually been inspected under the new Ofsted regime , until we're measuring apples with apples these headline grabbing figures are meaningless!! Yet another chance fro the HDM to run down educational attainment in this area and scare prospective employers away.”

“This is a typical example of political fiddling of the figures to suit your own goals.
The same happened in Hull to get nice new school buildings and resources out of central governement. Looks like the East Riding is in for some seriously wacky architecture in the next few years to 'help' kids learn.”

“I hope that Alison Coggan has read the report carefully, and that she's got the numbers right.
Why? Because it's such a relief for a typical, much-maligned elderly Hull Chav like me to discover that the posh folk in the East Riding are forced to send their darling sprogs and sprogettes to even worse schools than we poverty-stricken Hull people have to endure for our trainee-yobs and yobettes!
Please tell me, Ms Coggan, that it's true that our Hull kids are brighter and more hard-working than their country(-ish) cousins.
OK, serious, stern face now:
Why are the schools in both Hull and East Yorks so low in the league tables? Is it lack of parental support, poor teaching, inadequate head-teachers, second-rate governors?
Or could it be that, now, so many schools are Academies and, thus, independent of local authority supervision and,if necessary, control?
What I cannot accept is that either ERYC or HCC youngsters are any less intelligent and capable than those who are 'upstairs' of our kids.
I feel that parents and the wider community which pays for our local education, through both local and national taxes, have a right to know, preferably without bullsh+t, why OUR schools appear to be failing their pupils, OUR next generation of adults.
What right have I to ask questions about education? Not a lot - except that I attended schools (state primaries, a private secondary on a scholarship), became a school governor (Axminster Secondary Modern, if you really need to know), became founding chairman of an education campaign (CAVE), went to university (Humberside) in the 1990s, was elected and re-elected to a Herts council in the 'noughties'.
Oh yes, I nearly forgot: seven children had the misfortune to live with me, for a few years. I made all of 'em go to school. What a swine of a father!”
