We have received the SATS results of our Year 6 pupils. The cohort did fantastically well, improving on last year in both progress and achievement. An outstanding 91% of pupils reached the expected standard in Maths. With nearly 50% achieving greater depth. Overall the so called RWM, or combination score was 83% almost 30% higher than last year and 20% higher than the national average. We are proud of our pupils and their teachers for doing their best and doing so well.
The Real Schools Guide published in Liverpool Echo has given our secondary phase it's highest rating ever. 5 star across the board and top 5 in Merseyside. We are apparently the 174th ranked school out of more than 3100 in the country. Exactly how these rankings are made remains a little bit of a secret recipe, but we are delighted to see the efforts of pupils and staff recognised in this way.
On Friday 18th May Pre-Prep Children and Staff had a lovely day celebrating the Royal Wedding.
The Kickstart programme is a 3 week training programme for young people 16+.
Future Chef is an entire programme that aims to support young people into a worthwhile career as a chef within a thriving industry.
The programme provides students with, minimum, 2 industry recognised qualifications, and it develops their employability skills, works on their confidence and advises them about the vast wealth of careers available to them. The second part of the Kickstart Programme is a 2 week work experience placement in industry. So not only are these young people newly trained but they have relevant industry work experience!

The Senior hockey team were successful this afternoon at the U18 County Tournament. It was disappointing to only see 3 teams there, but they were the strongest 3 teams, so competition was good. In the first match, Liverpool College faced Merchant Taylors. It was a closely fought match with chances at either end. There were some excellent link up play between Lydia W, Kirsten B and Eva B but we could not convert our chances. We came close with a penalty corner from Orla N, but failed to convert. Jasmine P was excellent in goal, preventing Merchant Taylors from scoring and the game finished 0-0.
Thursday's snowfall would not deter our resilient U15 rugby squad from travelling over to the Audenshaw 7's tournament and going up against some of the best schools in the north.
Wins came against Bury Grammar and West Hill with narrow losses against the hosts Audenshaw and then Stockport GS, the favourites to win the event.
Every member of the squad put their 'body on the line' and team spirit was superb going in to the plate final against a strong Kirkham Grammar side.
Could they scoop the prize? Thomas, Cain and Wilson had been 'on fire' all day ..... Could this Kirkham side 'put them out???' The troops were rallied by coaches Lavender and Muscatelli
Year 1Q had fun on Thursday 1st March when they visited Pizza Express on World Book Day. The children enjoyed making their pizza and learning all about the different spices.
