Quick Glance: Transformation of Hull Primary School to 'Outstanding'
  • A primary school in west Hull is celebrating its latest 'outstanding' rating from regulator Ofsted, recognizing the teamwork that has gone into transforming its status.

  • A little over two years ago, Collingwood Primary School found itself in the 'requires improvement' doldrums but has since reversed its fortunes, with all areas rated 'outstanding' except for early years provision, which was 'good'.

  • Inspectors noted the 'exceptional' education the children receive, the 'caring and nurturing' relationships between staff and pupils, and the 'wide range of enrichment activities' that underpin the curriculum and help build confidence.

  • Staff work closely with parents and carers to remove all barriers to learning and build relationships within the community, resulting in highly achieving students with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Quick Glance: Verdicts in Leicester Baby Murder Case
  • Michael Davis was convicted today for the murder of his son, after physically abusing his one-month-old child and causing 40 bone fractures, including a broken neck that led to the infant's death.

  • Paramedics were called to a residence in Upper Temple Walk, Beaumont Leys, Leicester, in October 2017, where Davis discovered the baby unconscious in the crib next to his bed. Experts identified severe injuries during the autopsy, such as brain damage and body wounds that indicated prolonged abuse rather than a single incident.

  • Kayleigh Driver, 29, the baby's mother, was also charged with murder. Today, the jury at Leicester Crown Court acquitted her of murder but found her guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child and causing serious physical harm to a child.

  • Throughout the trial, several medical experts provided testimonies. Professor David Mangham revealed that the neck injury to Ollie occurred at least four days before the baby's death, resulting in continuous bleeding. The post-mortem examination determined the broken neck as the fatal injury.
