The proportion of students known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium grant (additional government funding for students in local authority care or receiving free school meals) is above the national average. Most students are from White British backgrounds, in a multi-cultural area. Behaviour of pupils has continued to decrease in recent years with the absence of a robust behaviour policy supporting staff in being able to manage behaviour effectively.

Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service

Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) is the statutory fire and rescue service for the county of Northumberland in North East England. Its headquarters are co-located with West Hartford fire station in Cramlington. History The Northumberland Fire Brigade (NFB) was formed in 1948 from the many local fire services located in the traditional county of Northumbria, between the Tyne and the Tweed rivers. The Local Government Reorganisation act (1971), which came into effect in 1974, saw the transfer of four of the busiest NFB stations (Gosforth, Newburn, Wallsend and Whitley Bay), into the newly formed Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service. This also prompted a name change to Northumberland County Fire Brigade. The current name was adopted in 1982, reflecting the type of callouts the service was receiving. Between 1966 and 2010, the brigade's headquarters had been in Morpeth, however, in June 2010, a new headquarters building and fire station was opened up at West Hartford in Cramlington. The headquarters, together with a new fire station at Pegswood and other fire stations across the North East region, were constructed as part of a £27 million private finance initiative (PFI) project initiated by the North East Fire and Rescue Authority. Annual callouts for the service average around 3,800. In the period from October 2017 to September 2018, Northumberland had 3,797 callouts of which 1,674 were fires and 1,278 were false alarms. Performance Every fire and rescue service in England and Wales is periodically subjected to a statutory inspection by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS). The inspections investigate how well the service performs in each of three areas. On a scale of outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate, Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service was rated as follows: Fire stations and appliances The service's fire stations, which are crewed by wholetime firefighters, retained firefighters, or a combination of the two, are listed below. Some of the stations are shared with other organisations. There are 15 fire stations, excluding the garage on Holy Island, staffed by 141 full time firefighters and 143 retained firefighters. The fire station at Haydon Bridge closed in 2016. See also Fire service in the United Kingdom List of British firefighters killed in the line of duty References Sources Henderson, Ron (2005).

Northumberland House

Northumberland House var ett stadspalats i London. Det fungerade som stadsresidens för familjerna Howard och Percy (earlerna, senare hertigarna av Northumberland) i över 250 år. Det byggdes 1605 på uppdrag av Henry Howard, 1:e earl av Northampton, efter ritningar av en okänd arkitekt. Palatset låg vid västra änden av the Strand, med utsikt över Trafalgar Square. Området längs the Strand var länge ett exklusivt område med många residens för adelsfamiljer. Northumberland House revs 1874 då man ville utvidga området runt Trafalgar Square. På en del av dess område byggde man Victoria Hotel, som ändrade namn till Northumberland House efter andra världskriget.

Нортумберленд Хаус

Нортумберленд Хаус (також відомий як Саффолк Хаус, коли належав графам Саффолк) — це великий таунхаус часів Якова I у Лондоні, названий так через те, що протягом більшої частини своєї історії він був лондонською резиденцією родини Персі, які були графами, а пізніше герцогами Нортумберлендськими та однією з найбагатших і найвидатніших аристократичних династій Англії протягом багатьох століть. Він стояв на крайньому західному кінці Стренду приблизно із 1605 року до свого знесення у 1874 році. У пізніші роки його існування, з нього відкривався краєвид на Трафальгарську площу. Передумови У XVI столітті Стренд, що з'єднує Лондон Сіті з королівським Вестмінстером, був оточений маєтками певних найзаможніших прелатів та аристократів Королівства Англії. Більшість будівель величного вигляду розташовувались на південному боці дороги та мали сади, що тягнулися до Темзи. До прикладу, Дарем Хаус. Будівництво Приблизно у 1605 році Генрі Говард, 1-ий граф Нортгемптон, розчистив ділянку на Чарінґ-Кросс на місці монастиря, побудувавши там свій маєток, спочатку відомий як Нортгемптон Хаус. Фасад будівлі був завширшки 49 метрів (162 фути), а завглибшки - дещо більше. Будівля мала центральний двір й кутові башти. Балюстрада фасаду мала напис кам'яними літерами. У травні 1619 року, під час похорону Анни Данської, велика кам'яна літера «S» впала з фасаду на глядачів процесії, вбивши Уільяма Еппл'ярда. За словами Натаніеля Брента, камінь був частиною девізу і «був скинутий леді, що поставила на нього ногу, не подумавши, який він ненадійний». Сад був завширшки 49 метрів (160 футів), а завдовжки - 91 метр (понад 300 футів), але відрізнявся від сусідніх маєтків на сході тим, що не досягав річки. Нортумберленд авеню Однією з найбільших будівель на новозбудованій Нортумберленд авеню став готель «Вікторія» на 500 кімнат, що арочним входом та еркером над ним імітував Нортумберленд Хаус. За часів Другої Світової його забрало Міністерство оборони, перейменувавши на Нортумберленд Хаус. Зараз, це - будинок № 8 на Нортумберленд авеню. Сучасний стан Арка будівлі, яку спроєктував Уільям Кент, була продана для входу до саду Тюдор Хаус, що доти стояв у Бромлі-бай-Боу. Її було перенесено у 1998 році, щоб вона стала головним входом для Центру Бромлі-бай-Боу. Фрагмент панелей зі скляної вітальні 1770-их років зберігається у колекції Музею Вікторії та Альберта.

Northumberlandia

Northumberlandia (auch Lady of the North) ist eine Landschaftsskulptur in der Form einer liegenden Frau. Die Skulptur wurde 2012 fertiggestellt und befindet sich auf Blagdon Hall in der Nähe von Cramlington, Northumberland, im Nordosten Englands. Entstehung Das Projekt entstand im Rahmen der Renaturierung eines Tagebaus auf Blagdon Hall, in dem Kohle, Schiefer und Schamott abgebaut wurde. Anstatt das angehäufte Schuttmaterial wieder in die Tagebaugrube zu schütten, beschloss man daraus einen öffentlichen Park zu gestalten. Die Figur wurde aus 1,5 Millionen Tonnen Erde auf dem 19 Hektar großem Park errichtet. Sie ist 200 Meter lang und bis zu 34 Meter hoch. Entworfen wurde die Figur von Charles Jencks, einem US-amerikanischen Landschaftsarchitekten. Die Kosten von 3 Millionen Pfund trugen der Minenbetreiber Banks Group und Matt Ridley, der Besitzer des Landsitzes Blagdon Hall. Die Planung dauerte fünf Jahre, der Bau erfolgte über zwei weitere Jahre. Eröffnet wurde der Park 2012 durch Prinzessin Anne. Weblinks Offizielle Website Satellitenbild Einzelnachweise
Northumberlandia

Northumberlandia (the "Lady of the North") is a huge land art sculpture in the shape of a reclining female figure, which was completed in 2012, near Cramlington, Northumberland, northern England. It is in the care of Northumberland Wildlife Trust. Made of 1.5 million tonnes of overburden from the neighbouring Shotton Surface Mine, it is 34 metres (112 feet) high and 400 metres (1,300 feet) long, set in a 19 hectares (47 acres) public park. Its creators claim that it is the largest land sculpture in female form in the world. When constructed, it was intended to be a major tourist attraction, with the developers hoping that it would attract an additional 200,000 visitors a year to Northumberland. It was officially opened by Anne, Princess Royal on 29 August 2012. A day-long Community Opening Event on 20 October 2012 marked the park becoming fully open to the public. Development Designed by American landscape architect Charles Jencks, the sculpture was built on the Blagdon Estate, owned by Matt Ridley, a journalist, businessman and author of The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature. The £2.5 million cost was borne by the Blagdon Estate and the Banks Group, who carried out the construction work. The construction is part of the development of an adjacent open-cast coal mine at Shotton. For this project, it was decided to use part of the excavated material to make a land sculpture rather than return it all to the surface mine, as is normally done at the end of such operations. Condition In April 2023, Northumberland Wildlife Trust reported that the work was suffering excessive wear, due to visitors failing to stay on the designated paths. Extra signage is planned to discourage this, as well as repairs which, the Trust said, "will take years to complete".
