Visiting Spanish Students

Last week we said goodbye to our wonderful visitors from Vigo, Spain. It was two incredible weeks filled with learning, laughter, and lasting memories. This cultural exchange has given our students a true taste of Spanish life while building friendships that will endure well beyond the visit.

Our guests joined Year 10 lessons, took part in a vibrant Cultural Drop-Down Day, enjoyed a traditional Afternoon Tea, and explored creativity in our Innovation Labs, experiences that enriched everyone involved.

Reflecting on the programme, Miss Mallo said, “This exchange truly brings Spanish to life, boosting our students’ confidence, fluency, and enthusiasm for language learning.”

Spanish Language and Culture Heritage Programme (ALCE) Ceremony

Miss Mallo, on behalf of Liverpool Life Sciences UTC, was honoured to attend the ALCE England II and Scotland Launch Ceremony on 8th October at the Clothworkers' Centenary Concert Hall in Leeds. The event celebrated the expansion of the ALCE programme to Liverpool, Leeds, and Manchester, offering free Spanish language and cultural education to children aged 7–17 with Spanish heritage. 

Distinguished guests, including the Vice Minister of Education of Spain and the Spanish Consul, delivered inspiring remarks highlighting the importance of bilingual education and cultural connection.

During the event, Fernando Bartolomé Usieto, Counsellor for Education at the Spanish Embassy in the UK and Ireland, publicly thanked Liverpool Life Sciences UTC for its support in hosting this enriching initiative in Liverpool. He also expressed his keen interest in visiting our exciting and innovative school in the near future.
