  • Maghull High School Joining the Southport Learning Trust – DFE Case Study (February 2021) All To: Aspire, Achieve, Enjoy
    Maghull High School Joining The Southport Learning Trust – DFE Case Study (February 2021) All to: Aspire, Achieve, Enjoy Introduction Maghull High School is an oversubscribed average sized 11-18 comprehensive school with over 950 students on roll. The large majority of students are White British, with very small numbers of European, African, Asian and mixed heritage students. The school site is in Maghull; however, the school draws students from a wide and socio-economically highly diverse catchment from over 40 primary schools. Over 480 students live outside Sefton in four other local authorities, mainly in North Liverpool and Knowsley. A high proportion of students travel to school by public transport. 6% of the school population live within a 1-mile radius of the school. Attainment at entry is in line with national average. The percentage of disadvantaged students is slightly above the figure for other schools nationally. Retention in sixth form is positive, the majority of Year 11 students progress into our sixth form. Challenges of being a Single Academy Trust (SAT) Being a single academy trust can present a number of challenges. Sometimes you can feel quite isolated and vulnerable as a SAT; particularly SAT that ‘Requires Improvement’. The development, challenge and improvement in some areas of leadership and student outcomes can lack pace and rigour. SATs can lack critical friends and support and it can be difficult and expensive to source reliable and appropriate external support and expertise for key priority development areas. It can also be difficult to attract and recruit in subject shortage areas. As a SAT you have reduced bargaining and purchasing power and is difficult to achieve economies of scale.

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast
    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.

    6 Merseyside 6.1 Administrative set-up Merseyside takes its name from the River Mersey and is a metropolitan county in North West England. Merseyside came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974, after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, and the county consists of five metropolitan boroughs adjoining the Mersey Estuary, including the City of Liverpool. Merseyside encompasses about 645 km2 (249 sq miles) and has a population of around 1,350,100 (Office of National Statistics).

However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference. Merseyside is divided into two parts by the Mersey Estuary: the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is located to the west of the estuary on the Wirral Peninsula; the rest of the county is located on the eastern side of the estuary. The eastern boroughs of Merseyside border Lancashire to the north and Greater Manchester to the east, and both parts of Merseyside, west and east of the estuary, border Cheshire to the south.
