  • Southport College University Centre Access and Participation Statement
    Southport College University Centre Access and Participation Statement 2020-2021 1 | P a g e College context and the key areas we are seeking to address Southport Technical College opened in 1935. This institution brought together a number of technical courses which had been offered throughout Southport since 1887. In 1938 Southport School of Arts and Crafts was founded. The two institutions were amalgamated in 1989 to form Southport College. In January 2018 Southport College merged with King George V College, a local sixth form college also based in Southport. Southport College offers a range of courses to students from Southport and the surrounding area. These courses include Diplomas, NVQs, BTECs, A Levels and Access courses. In addition, Southport College has a small, sustainable portfolio of higher education courses awarded by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), the University of Cumbria (UoC) and Pearson. Southport College is situated in a seaside town with a population of about 91,000 (2011, Census). It lies within the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, which had a population of 275,400 in 2017. Sefton is a coastal borough. Sefton lies at the northern end of the Liverpool City Region. Sefton is one of five metropolitan districts within the Liverpool City Region. Sefton shares close economic, social, cultural and transport links with Liverpool City Region. Sefton also has important links to Preston and West Lancashire. Sefton adjoins the City of Liverpool to the south, the borough of Knowsley to the southeast, and the largely rural West Lancashire elsewhere. The local catchment area for the College includes part of West Lancashire.

  • Years Information Update
    Formby High School ‘Determined to Achieve’ Headteacher: DMA/LFO Mr D A Mackenzie BA (Hons) NPQH Freshfield Road Formby 18 June 2021 Liverpool L37 3HW 01704 873100 enquiries@ formbyhighschool.com www. formbyhighschool.com Dear Parent @FormbyHigh Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday that there will be a delay to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions until 19 July, the school is currently reviewing all planned activities until the end of term to ensure that risk assessments have been appropriately reviewed in light of the delay. As a school, we are committed to ensuring we can continue with as many activities as we can safely deliver for our students. Any changes which do need to be made to planned activities will be communicated in due course. As promised during my letter on 11 June 2021, I have consulted with the Headteacher of Range High School and we have decided that staff and students will continue to wear face coverings in classrooms and communal spaces in school during week commencing 21 June 2021. Both schools continue to manage positive Covid-19 cases and consider this control measure, along with the continued twice weekly testing of staff and students, essential in mitigating the extent of the impact in our schools. I would also like to share with you a letter from the Secretary of State for Education for all parents of secondary school children (please click here) about testing. The use of face coverings in school will continue to be reviewed on a weekly basis and I will write to you again on Friday 25 June 2021.

  • 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.

  • Schools Regulatory Services Determined Scheme for Co
    SCHOOLS REGULATORY SERVICES DETERMINED SCHEME FOR CO-ORDINATION OF ADMISSIONS TO SEFTON SECONDARY SCHOOLS 2017 The scheme set out below seeks to comply with the requirements of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, as later amended and the School Admissions Code 2014 and any further updates, in respect of co-ordinated admissions schemes. The Local Authority scheme for coordination of admissions will come into force for admission applications submitted from September 2016 for the admission of pupils transferring from primary to Secondary school in September 2017. Children transfer from primary to secondary schools in the September following their eleventh birthday. The Education and Skills Act 2008 increased the minimum age at which young people in England can leave learning, thus requiring them to continue in education or training to the age of 18. All 11 year olds starting secondary education in September 2017 will continue their learning in Education and or training until the age of 18. Sefton Local Authority has a statutory duty to co-ordinate the primary to secondary transfer process for admissions to Secondary Schools within Sefton. In addition to the statutory co- ordination role, the Local Authority is the Admissions Authority for Community Secondary Schools in the Borough. This means the Admissions Criteria for those schools is set by the Local Authority. Sefton Local Authority administers an Equal Preference Admissions Scheme. This means that each individual preference (school) listed on the Local Authority application form will be considered equally according to each individual school’s admissions criteria. If a place can be offered at more than one of the preferences listed on the application form, then the Local Authority will automatically offer the highest preferred school.

  • It Has Been Another Busy Week at Greenbank As You Can See in the Newsletter
    GHS News Edition 2: 18th September 2017 It has been another busy week at Greenbank as you can see in the newsletter. I am delighted that over 100 pupils have signed up to be Open Evening guides. The girls will need to be in school from 5.30pm in full school uniform including blazer badges as parents often arrive early. New guides are welcome and can sign up on Monday via a letter available at reception. The evening is an excellent opportunity to open our doors to the community and celebrate life at Greenbank. It was fantastic to see after school clubs start last week with high numbers attending. The timetable for PE and Music clubs was in my last newsletter. Dance, Drama and Let’s Get Cooking Club now have over 100 pupils signed up! Please ask your daughter to ensure she says thank you to the member of staff delivering the club after school. During assemblies last week Mrs Russell outlined our Behaviour for Learning Policy which is summarised in the Student Planner. Our aim is to ensure girls are fully aware of the routines in school, rewards which apply to the vast majority and sanctions which apply to very few. Wandering around school last week I was impressed with the impeccable behaviour and learning taking place in all areas. As you will see below there are major roadworks starting on Lord Street which may disrupt your daughter’s travel to and from school. If you bring your daughter to school by car, please drop her off on Waterloo Road and not Hastings Road so they can ‘park and stride.’ We ask parents not to drive into the school grounds or attempt a three point turn before the barriers, as this is potentially very dangerous for our pupils and staff alike.
