Museum of Liverpool Visit

The boarders visited the Museum of Liverpool and learned all about the history of Liverpool. One of the most fascinating areas of the Museum was the Wondrous Place gallery. It is a gallery for internationally recognised talents across music, sport, cinema, and TV. Who knew so many talented people came from Liverpool?

Inspiring author Seth Burkett visits Liverpool College

Breaking all stereotypes, Seth Burkett is an author with a difference. As a young, professional footballer, who played for Brazil, Seth was inspired by the autobiographies of Vinnie Jones and Peter Crouch and began to realise that you don’t need to choose between being sporty or being a writer – you can do both. He shared his experiences both as a ghost writer and as a children’s author. His inspiring story of rejection and resilience was truly inspirational. Throughout his visit, Seth ran a series of Writing workshops with pupils from Chapter 5 and Chapter 7, giving his top tips and tricks for creative writing.
