Bartholomew

Liz Bartholomew, from Mayflower Primary School in Dovercourt, said some parents "don't have a clear understanding of children's developmental needs".

Ms Bartholomew said an increasing number of students were starting primary school without being able to use the toilet themselves.

"Then I have to have two members of staff come out of a classroom to go and change a nappy," Ms Bartholomew explained.

One Man, Two Guvnors playwright Richard Bean's touching and comedic portrait of a Humberside family dealing with ageing and generational frissons, To Have and To Hold, stars Paula Wilcox, Ian Bartholomew and Stephen Tompkinson when it comes home to Hull Truck, 1-24 May.

George Barlow, principal of Belgrave St Bartholomew's added that harnessing innovation to improve lessons was "fundamental" in how their school approaches teaching.
