While England is the dominant country of the United Kingdom, Wales and Scotland have an increasing degree of autonomy within the structure of the United Kingdom. Scotland has its own legal system. Economic activity in the UK is concentrated into a relatively small corridor of urbanization stretching from London and the southeast through the midland regions (Birmingham) and through to the conurbations of Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire and Merseyside. From central England, 70% of the population is accessible within 3 hours driving time. 6.11 Borders & Surface Area Area: 242,514 sq km (93,638 sq miles) The UK’s only land border is between Northern Ireland, and the Irish Republic. Borders between England and Wales, and England and Scotland are only of symbolic significance, and do not impact on the movement of goods and services, although the legal systems of Scotland, and England and Wales are different.

  • Prospectus 2017/18
    North and South Cowton Community Primary School Prospectus 2017/18 Enjoy School – Be Ready for Life North And South Cowton Community Primary School Prospectus 2011/12 Welcome to our school prospectus. My name is Trevor Watson and I am Executive Headteacher of North and South Cowton Community Primary School. This is my first year in post where I took over from Mr Briggs who had been Head for 6 years. The school is a happy and successful school, which was judged as good by Ofsted in March 2017. We have two buildings in the village of North Cowton, which accommodate our two classes; one infant class, catering for children from Early Years Foundation Stage up to year 2, and one junior class for years 3 to 6. However, the school is not constrained by these physical boundaries and truly extends into the heart of the community. We have a dedicated and talented team of staff, volunteers and governors, who work hard to ensure that all our children develop to their full social, sporting and academic potential. We are an inclusive school, which recognises and values the different talents and abilities of everyone who is part of our community. We strive to ensure that our children are healthy and we have a reputation for sporting success. As a small school, all our children have the chance to participate in a range of team sports; the children learn to support each other and respect each others strengths. This maturity and team work has consistently resulted in winning performances, and contributes significantly to the children’s personal and social development.

At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Each of our nine local offices now hosts a dedicated Heritage at Risk team, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From the historic battlefield at Towton to ancient barrows on the Wolds, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Natural England, councils and local groups.

Overall, the number of buildings at risk has fallen, although we are seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings on the Register that are capable of beneficial re-use.These have become vacant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The average conservation deficit for buildings has increased as end-values have stagnated or fallen. We are now into the third year of our thematic Our Chair, Baroness Andrews, recently visited Joel’s Yard approach, which focuses on the most distinctive aspects in Sheffield to celebrate the completion of repairs and of Yorkshire’s heritage at risk.We have had another strong to announce a further grant of £300,000 for the adjacent year, removing 56 sites from the Register and offering North Yard.
