  • North West Introduction the North West Has an Area of Around 14,100 Km2 and a Population of Almost 6.9 Million
    North West Introduction The North West has an area of around 14,100 km2 and a population of almost 6.9 million. The metropolitan areas of Greater Manchester and Merseyside are the most significant centres of population; other major urban areas include Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 490 people per km2, making the North West the most densely populated region outside London. This population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region; Cumbria in the north has just 24 people per km2. The economy The economic output of the North West is almost £119 billion, which represents 13 per cent of the total UK gross value added (GVA), the third largest of the nine English regions. The region is very varied economically: most of its wealth is created in the heavily populated southern areas. The unemployment rate stood at 7.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with the UK rate of 7.9 per cent. The North West made the highest contribution to the UK’s manufacturing industry GVA, 13 per cent of the total in 2008. It was responsible for 39 per cent of the UK’s GVA from the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel, and 21 per cent of UK manufacture of chemicals, chemical products and man-made fibres. It is also one of the main contributors to food products, beverages, tobacco and transport equipment manufacture. Gross disposable household income (GDHI) of North West residents was one of the lowest in the country, at £13,800 per head.

  • Matters to Be Specified in Section 15
    MATTERS TO BE SPECIFIED IN SECTION 18 PROPOSALS FOR ALTERATIONS TO SCHOOLS Extract of Schedule 2 to The School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained Schools)(England) Regulations 2013 (as amended) 1. Contact details The proposal to discontinue the post 16 sixth form provision delivered by Carr Hill High School and Sixth Form Centre, Royal Avenue, Kirkham, PR4 2ST, by permanently lowering its age range from 11-18 years to 11-16 years with effect from 31 August 2019, is published by Lancashire County Council, the relevant local authority. Carr Hill High School and Sixth Form Centre is a community school. The local authority can be contacted at the following address: Sarah Hirst, Learning and Skills Service, Room C24, PO Box 100, County Hall, Preston, PR1 0LD, Lancashire. 2. Description of alteration and evidence This proposal is for the closure of Carr Hill High School and Sixth Form Centre's (the school) sixth form by permanently lowering its age range from 11-18 years to 11-16 years. The school will remain open and unchanged for secondary school provision. Participation in Education or Training When the school approached the local authority to discuss the future of its sixth form provision, there were only 97 students in the sixth form, with 52 in Year 12 and 45 in Year 13. This compares to the sixth form being funded for 245 students only three years ago. A number of the students currently in Year 12 are on one year courses so there is the potential for the school to only have around 30 students in Year 13 in 2018/19 if those on one year courses choose not to progress.
