  • Consultation on Proposed Changes To
    CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO BRIDGNORTH ENDOWED SCHOOL (Reduction in Published Admission Number and closure of Sixth Form) On THURSDAY 29TH NOVEMBER 2018 at 6PM At Old Hall, Bridgnorth Endowed School PRESENT: Mr B Worth Headteacher Mr M Freathy Chair of Governors IN ATTENDANCE: Mrs Jo Nicholls - Clerk to governors Parents of pupils at Bridgnorth Endowed School (4) Chair of Bridgnorth Area Schools' Trust (representing Oldbury Wells School, Bridgnorth) 1. ADDRESS BY HEADTEACHER The Headteacher thanked those present for coming out to the meeting and introduced himself, the Chair of Governors and the Clerk who would be recording the meeting. He then outlined, with the aid of a screen presentation, the considerations which had led to the Governing Board’s decision to both reduce the current Published Admission Number (PAN) and withdraw sixth form provision at Bridgnorth Endowed School (BES). The key focus points of the presentation were as follows: FALLING PUPIL DEMOGRAPHIC Pupil numbers had gone through a sustained period of decline within Bridgnorth. There had been a 20% drop-off of pupils aged 11-18 for local secondaries to draw from over the past ten years. An even bigger drop, of 40%, had been sustained in children following a course for 16-19-year-olds in the town. Reasons for this decline were complex, the Head said, but a clear factor was the increasing desire of pupils to go further afield to study at this stage of their education. With more children aspiring to university it was a good interim step, offering a taste of independence and a sense of new horizons.

  • West Midlands
    West Midlands Introduction The West Midlands has an area of just under 13,000 km2. Around 5.2 million people live in the region, giving a population density of 405 people per km2. This is close to the average for England, but West Midlands metropolitan county – which consists of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton – is the second most densely populated urban area in the country after London. It has nearly 3,000 people per km2. Birmingham has just under 1 million inhabitants, making it the second largest city in the UK. Other significant urban areas are Stoke-on-Trent, Worcester, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Stafford. Economic development The economic output of the West Midlands is just around £63 billion, 8.2 per cent of the total UK GDP. Manufacturing industry is responsible for just over a quarter of employment and almost 30 per cent of GDP, the highest proportion for any region in the UK. However, the manufacturing industry is declining in favour of service industries. Unemployment in the region is above the national average at 5.9 per cent. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is over £990 million per year. Higher education provision There are 12 higher education institutions in the West Midlands: eight universities and four higher education colleges.
