  • Regional Profiles North-West 29 ● Cumbria Institute of the Arts Carlisle College__▲■✚ University of Northumbria at Newcastle (Carlisle Campus)
    North-West Introduction The North-West has an area of around 14,000 km2 and a population of over 6.3 million. The metropolitan area of Greater Manchester is by far the most significant centre of population, with 2.5 million people in the city and its wider conurbation. Other major urban areas are Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 477 people per km2, making the North-West the most densely populated region outside London. However, the population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region. Cumbria, by contrast, has the third lowest population density of any English county. Economic development The economic output of the North-West is around £78 billion, which is 10 per cent of the total UK GDP. The region is very varied economically, with most of its wealth created in the heavily populated southern areas. Important manufacturing sectors for employment and wealth creation are chemicals, textiles and vehicle engineering. Unemployment in the region is 5.9 per cent, compared with the UK average of 5.4 per cent. There is considerable divergence in economic prosperity within the region. Cheshire has an above average GDP, while Merseyside ranks as one of the poorest areas in the UK. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is around £1,400 million per year. Higher education provision There are 15 higher education institutions in the North-West: eight universities and seven higher education colleges. An additional 42 further education colleges provide higher education courses. There are almost 177,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students in higher education in the region.

  • Rochdale Borough Council Community Secondary Schools
    Determination Case reference: ADA3560 Objector: A parent Admission authority: Rochdale Borough Council for community secondary schools in Rochdale Date of decision: 27 June 2019 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I do not uphold the objection to the admission arrangements for September 2020 determined by Rochdale Borough Council for community secondary schools in Rochdale. The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (the Act) an objection has been referred to the adjudicator by a parent (the objector) about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for the community secondary schools in Rochdale for September 2020. The objection is that the priority given to children on the basis of the proximity of their homes to the nearest school is unfair to some pupils. 2. The parties to this objection are the objector and Rochdale Borough Council (the local authority). Jurisdiction 3. These arrangements were determined under section 88C of the Act on 25 February 2019 by the local authority, which is the admission authority for the schools. The objector submitted her objection to these determined arrangements on 2 May 2019. I am satisfied the objection has been properly referred to me in accordance with section 88H of the Act and it is within my jurisdiction. 4. Regulation 22 of The School Admissions (Admission Arrangements and Co- ordination of Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2012 says “For the purposes of section 88H(5)(d), where the adjudicator has determined an objection to the admission arrangements of a school or Academy, no objection may be referred to the adjudicator raising the same or substantially the same issues in relation to those admission arrangements within 2 years of the decision by the adjudicator.” Determination REF3486 made by the adjudicator in December 2018 considered similar issues to those in this objection.

  • School Bus Services in Rochdale September 2019 to July 2020
    School Bus Services in Rochdale September 2019 to July 2020 Services in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. Rochdale Schools 2019-2020 website - 1 - 18/10/19 An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.40. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares. You will need to check with the operator what fares are available.
