Partington is the most deprived area of Trafford and encompasses two Super Output Areas which sit in the bottom 5% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation. Physical isolation of Partington and Carrington is a major issue with regards to residents accessing services and employment opportunities elsewhere in the borough. The nearest towns are Urmston (approximately 4 miles away) and Altrincham (approximately 5 miles away) and are only accessible by car or bus. Although unemployment levels, child poverty levels and health inequalities are high compared to other areas of Trafford, the area has a distinct sense of community spirit and many residents are proud to live in Partington and Carrington. This Community First Plan has been created using Partington’s Community Needs Assessment, Partington Partnership’s Neghbourhood Plan and Trafford Partnership’s West Action Plan. Community Involvement In 2011, a Community Needs Assessment was carried out in Partington to help local organisations understand the needs of the community. 650 questionnaires were returned representing almost 10% of the population. 500 of the questionnaires were completed by local residents and 150 by young people attending Broadoak High School. The Community Needs Assessment covered health, employment, youth provision, family services, crime, environment and transport. Partington Partnership is made up of service providers, Councillors, community groups and residents who work together to oversee projects to improve quality of life for the Partington community. Partington Partnership’s Action Plan and information from Trafford Partnership’s West Action Log has also contributed to this Community First Plan. The Action Log was created at Trafford Partnership’s Event in March 2012 which saw residents, businesses and organisations come together to identify priorities for the West area of Trafford which includes Partington and Carrington. Partington and Carrington Grants Panel – Community First Plan Updated January 2013 2 Community Priorities More sports and activities to More community activities help people of all ages stay and events for residents to healthy and improve their enjoy and to create lifestyles community cohesion More activities in the area for children and More opportunities for young people to local people to improve improve social their skills, confidence development and wellbeing Local Volunteers Audit Hundreds of residents from Partington and Carrington volunteer for local community groups and projects.

  • Educational Inequalities in Greater Manchester
    Educational Inequalities in Greater Manchester Characteristics of School‐Age Pupils in Greater Manchester Socio‐Economic Disadvantage About the indicator: Socio‐economic disadvantage in education is usually measured by eligibility for Free School Meals (FSM). Pupils are eligible for Free School Meals if their families are on low incomes and not in full‐time work. Greater Manchester has a higher proportion of children on FSM than England or the North West. In all authorities in Greater Manchester (as in England), higher proportions of the Early Years cohort (aged under 5) are on FSM than the Key Stage 2 (KS2) cohort (the end of primary school, or the Key Stage 4 (KS4) cohort (aged 15/16 and taking. Levels of socio‐economic disadvantage vary across Greater Manchester. Manchester has the highest levels ‐ with around 1 in 3 pupils eligible for Free School Meals – and Stockport and Trafford have the lowest levels. Percentage of children on Free School Meals by stage of education, 2013/14 Ethnic Diversity About the indicator: Children whose ethnicity is known are classified into 5 broad Ethnic groups. These are ‘White’, ‘Mixed‐ethnicity’, ‘Black’, ‘Asian’ and ‘Chinese’. A small percentage of children at each stage do not have a classification for their ethnicity. Where there are very small numbers of children of a particular ethnic group (e.g. at Local Authority level), the exact figures are not reported to preserve pupil confidentiality. Greater Manchester has a higher proportion of minority ethnic pupils than England or the North West. In all authorities in Greater Manchester, the Early Years cohort has the highest proportion of minority ethnic pupils, indicating how the conurbation is becoming more diverse over time There is a great deal of diversity in both the size and composition of the minority ethnic cohort between authorities in Greater Manchester.
