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. -

The metropolitan area of Greater Manchester is by far the most significant centre of population, with 2.5 million people in the city and its wider conurbation. Other major urban areas are Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 477 people per km2, making the North-West the most densely populated region outside London. However, the population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region. Cumbria, by contrast, has the third lowest population density of any English county. Economic development The economic output of the North-West is around £78 billion, which is 10 per cent of the total UK GDP. The region is very varied economically, with most of its wealth created in the heavily populated southern areas. Important manufacturing sectors for employment and wealth creation are chemicals, textiles and vehicle engineering. Unemployment in the region is 5.9 per cent, compared with the UK average of 5.4 per cent. There is considerable divergence in economic prosperity within the region. Cheshire has an above average GDP, while Merseyside ranks as one of the poorest areas in the UK. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is around £1,400 million per year. Higher education provision There are 15 higher education institutions in the North-West: eight universities and seven higher education colleges.

Shining Lights Newsletter April 2017 Celebrating Success
Shining Lights Newsletter April 2017 Celebrating success Although it’s only been 8 weeks since our last Shining Lights newsletter there is SO much to celebrate this term. From charity fundraising to individual and team excellence we hope you enjoy reading all about the activities and events that took place during the Spring Term. GCSE Results Officially Top Class Earlier this month, The Department for Education confirmed how superb our results were last year in the published School Performance Tables. We knew they were good at the time but looking at the table opposite only serves to remind us how great they truly were. Progress 8 is the new measure for secondary schools and our result of +0.23 simply means that on average our pupils got a quarter of their GCSEs grades higher in each subject compared to all other pupils nationally. A great achievement! Teacher of the Year 2017 - Mrs Hall, we love you! A huge congratulations to Mrs Hall on becoming Teacher of the Year 2017. The award, presented by Rock FM, celebrates heroes from across Lancashire who have been honoured for their courage, selflessness and charity endeavours. This year’s award ceremony for the annual Rock FM Cash 4 Kids Time to Shine awards took place at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. We are extremely proud of Mrs Hall and want to celebrate and thank her for all that she does in and out of school. She is truly amazing! Journey to Sanctuary Exhibition During the first week of Lent we hosted the 'Journey to Sanctuary' exhibition in school.
