Boarding Orchard!
In July 2023, Liverpool College joined the Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA) initiative ‘Boarding Orchard’.
During the summer term, our enthusiastic boarders participated in the planting of an apple tree on the grounds of Beechlands House, under the guidance of our Principal Mr Broekman.
A lovely occasion which brought many members of the school together alongside our board of governors - as Liverpool College becomes the latest member of the Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA) initiative. The scheme was launched by the BSA in 2014 with the aim to link boarding schools across the country together as each school plants fruit trees on their grounds. The network of trees symbolises the ‘tree of knowledge’ and instils valuable lessons of sustainability and care for the natural world in the boarders.
In a heart-warming display every boarder and member of the boarding staff got their hands dirty and participated in the planting of the tree, which is now situated in a lovely patch on Beechlands’ grounds alongside other trees planted by students in past years
We are looking forward to watching it blossom alongside generations of boarders as they take on the journey of life.

GCSE Results 2023
Congratulations to this year’s GCSE students who are celebrating a fantastic set of results, both individually and collectively. The class of 2023 smashed national figures on attainment and achieved well over a third of a grade higher than pupils in other schools nationally.
Particular congratulations go to the individual successes, especially to Hannah S who achieved an outstanding 11 grade 9s, and also to Nia M and Olivia C who averaged a grade 9 over their 10 GCSE subjects. A fantastic total of 20 pupils averaged a grade 8+ over their 9 or 10 GCSE subjects.
Topping the value added, an indication of those pupils who have made the most progress since joining the senior phase, were Nia M, Ebony R, Clara B, Hannah S and Al-Zahraa A, with 12 pupils attaining an average of over two grades higher than expected.
This is a cohort who have spent much of the senior phase schooling under the shadow of the pandemic so particular congratulations to them for their efforts and fortitude. These results meant that many pupils are able to progress into the next phase of their education at an institution of their choice, with over 70% choosing to remain at Liverpool College to join our thriving and expanding Sixth Form cohort for September 2023. We wish all our GCSE pupils of 2023 well for their future successes.

U16 Rugby 7s Tournament
On Wednesday the first of the Rugby 7s tournaments took place for the U16s at Chester RUC. Twelve enthusiastic Chapter 11s took time off from their GCSEs to play in this tournament and they didn't let us down with Kayde G, Jacob W and Jake W outstanding throughout. Wins versus Merchant Taylors, Shrewsbury School and Scarisbrick Hall School ensured a very creditable third place in the tournament. We look forward to many more Rugby 7s after half term including hosting our own Rugby 7s under 12s tournament in March.
Mr Cook (Director of Sport)
