GOOLE: A number of schools in the town have been able to buy extra books and resources from a share of £19,000 funding.

The cash came from money paid in taxes by migrants when they first enter the UK to work.

The money has been shared between 10 local schools and two children's centre, including Boothferry Primary School and Goole High School.

Yvette Fox, of the council's school improvement service, said: "A number of schools in the Goole area have pupils who speak English as their second language and, given the nature of the funding, we opted to share the money between these schools to help them buy dual language and cultural heritage books, and teaching resources, suited to the diverse cultural backgrounds of their pupils."
