  • Post-16 Education – a Guide for Teachers and Parents
    Post-16 Education – A Guide for Teachers and Parents This resource is aimed at teachers and parents who would like a better idea of the options available to students as they finish their GCSEs. Use this resource to help inform students about their options and support them in finding the route that is right for them. The information below is primarily targeted at those living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Scottish system is broadly similar and some details are described here (to support pupils who have the option of studying there). However, if you work in Scotland, it is worth looking for Scotland-specific information. This is an introduction to the post-16 routes available to students and their structures. For more detailed, local information – particularly regarding available courses and entry requirements – it is important to contact local employers and education providers. Levels English, Welsh and Northern Irish Qualifications are divided into levels, from Entry Level to Level 8. The table below shows example qualifications available at each level. Although all qualifications at a single level are broadly equivalent, they are not equal – for example, A levels and AS levels are both Level 3 qualifications. It is important that students check with institutions how they value their qualifications before applying. Level Selected Qualifications Entry Level Entry Level Awards Skills for Life Entry level English for Speakers of Other Languages Level 1 GCSE grade 1–3 (G–D in Wales) Level 1 NVQ Music grades 1–3 Level 2 GCSE grade

  • A Short History of Oxton 1800-1900 by Ray Johnson A
    A SHORT HISTORY OF OXTON 1800-1900 BY RAY JOHNSON A Short Diversion The modern town of Birkenhead stands upon what was once the wooded headland jutting out into the River Mersey. The name Birkenhead is probably descriptive of the ancient place in that it is most likely meaning is the "headland of birch trees". Great areas of the Wirral were once heavily forested and almost its entire Mersey shoreline must then have looked something like the scene we can still see today in the area of Eastham Ferry. Here great trees sweep down to the River Mersey and balance themselves at the very edge of rocky banks. The wooded headland that is now Birkenhead would once have been just like that. The headland must have seemed like a finger of land pointing out into the River Mersey towards the Liverpool bank, for there was, on the other side of it, a large natural pool. On the south side, the Tranmere Pool ran inland for almost a mile and it is believed that this place was the Somreford (ie Some Ford) referred to in the Domesday Book, since it is known that it was possible to cross the Pool at time of lower summer tides, by stepping on stepping stones. It is also known that the stepping stones were still in use in 1790 when an embankment was built to replace them and to carry the new Chester Road across the pool. To the north of the headland lay the Wallasey Pool - 1 mile wide at its mouth and stretching so far inland that it almost cut across the Wirral completely.

  • East Wirral(Mersey Estuary)
    River Mersey near to Eastham Country Park. East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) The East Wirral route takes you from the start of the Manchester Ship Canal on the banks of the River Mersey, into the woodlands of Eastham Country Park and through the area of industrial heritage of the east coast to Seacombe. Along the route you will pass near to the historic village of Port Sunlight, through the Victorian suburb of Rock Park, past Cammell Lairds Shipyard, and along to Woodside where you can see the world’s first rail tram system. 60 From Woodside Ferry Terminal and the U-boat Story you will pass the docks, the Twelve Quays Irish Ferry Terminal and on towards Seacombe, where you will find Spaceport and the best views of the Liverpool Waterfront World Heritage Site. The River Mersey was once renowned as a polluted river but now it’s not unusual to see seals, porpoise and dolphin in the Mersey. Charter fishing boats regularly pass from the Mersey to Liverpool Bay which has become one of the best inshore cod fishing grounds in north west Europe. 61 East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) Eastham Country Park 1 Eastham Country Park Eastham Country Park holds immense value and is a long- standing, major leisure and nature conservation area. It covers some 43 hectares and it is the last remaining substantial area of undeveloped land with public access on the Wirral bank of the River Mersey between Birkenhead and Ellesmere Port. Its location gives it particular importance as a local amenity, wildlife and educational resource. The site includes approximately 26 hectares of mature mixed deciduous woodland, 8 hectares of amenity grassland, 3 hectares of new plantation woodland and 3 hectares of natural grassland and scrub.
