The A level pass rate has once again exceeded 99% and the top grade passes (grades A*–C) have increased to a staggering 76%. These figures exceed all of the latest benchmarks for sixth form colleges, which is particularly impressive when considered in the context of St John Rigby College being highly inclusive and providing many young people with the opportunity to study A levels which would not be afforded them at some other colleges. Students following vocational qualifications achieved a similarly remarkable set of results with an amazing 100% pass rate being realised for the fourth consecutive year and with more than 88% of students being awarded a Distinction or Distinction*.

  • 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.
