Supporting Lemmy’s World Scout Jamboree Fundraising

Huge congratulations to our student, Lemmy, who has been selected for the Merseyside contingent at the 2027 World Scout Jamboree.

To help fund this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and support Scouts from less fortunate countries to attend, Lemmy is actively fundraising. On Sunday 7th June, he completed the 20km Wirral Coastal Walk from New Brighton to Thurstaston.

Lemmy would be extremely grateful for any sponsorship or support you are able to give. Donations can be made here. Thank you for supporting Lemmy with this fantastic achievement and opportunity. 

Designing the Future: Year 12 Tech Students Partner with Kyndryl

Year 12 T-Level and Computer Science students enjoyed an insightful day with Kyndryl, gaining a valuable look into one of the world’s leading technology services companies.

Throughout the day, students learnt more about Kyndryl’s work, explored how their degree apprenticeship programmes operate, and discovered the types of exciting projects and career opportunities available within the industry.

A particular highlight was hearing from Adam, one of the visiting Kyndryl team members, who graduated from The Studio School in August 2025. His journey from student to industry professional gave our learners a relatable and inspiring insight into where their own studies could lead.

Students were also treated to a live demonstration of an AI agent overseeing a LEGO build battle, before using AI to help determine the winning team. They then took on their own industry-style challenge, designing and pitching a digital solution to a real-world scenario.

It was a fantastic day of innovation, inspiration and future-focused learning. A huge thank you to Kyndryl for giving our students such a valuable insight into the digital and technology sector.

Step into a World of Imagination, Mystery, and Creativity

We are incredibly proud to celebrate the work of our Year 12 creative cohort, whose "Fantasy and Folklore" exhibition is currently on display at the Arts Bar Baltic.

Bionow Apprenticeship Event

On Tuesday, over 40 Year 12 Applied Science and A-Level students at Liverpool Life Sciences UTC gained invaluable industry insights during an exclusive apprenticeship panel. Hosted by Geoff Davison from Bionow, the session featured five inspiring young apprentices from leading organisations Pharmaron, United Utilities, and business partners Alfred H Knight, AstraZeneca, and CSL Seqirus.

The students also heard from alumni Sian, who is currently a second-year apprentice at United Utilities, and Kira, an ICP apprentice with our business partner, Alfred H Knight. 

The event concluded with an "Ask Us Anything" Q&A, where panellists discussed handling application rejections, earning a salary, and why they chose this route over traditional university pathways. It was a fantastic session that left our students equipped and motivated to kickstart their own scientific careers. 

Thank you to all the apprentices who visited. Your insights and experiences are invaluable to our students as they consider their future careers.

Unlocking History: Year 10 Computer Science Visit to Bletchley Park

On Tuesday, students visited Bletchley Park to discover the incredible achievements of Britain's World War Two Codebreakers, in the place where it happened.  Students learnt about the past, present and future of encryption, intelligence, and artificial intelligence, and how these are linked together through Alan Turing. 

They enjoyed an informative guided tour of the park and explored the buildings and exhibits including Enigma machines (encodes messages) and a replica Bombe (used for decoding messages). 

Coastal Classroom: Year 10 GCSE Fieldwork Adventure

This week, Mr. Storey and Miss. Grattage took our Geography students to Wirral Country Park and New Brighton for their GCSE fieldwork. It was a fantastic two days, with perfect weather and brilliant behaviour from all the students.

At Wirral Country Park, they investigated how beach material changes from the cliffs towards the sea, collecting data on pebble size and roundness to study the effects of attrition.

Students also visited New Brighton to examine the coastal sea defences and learn how they help protect the coastline. The trip was both enjoyable and a valuable hands-on learning experience for everyone.
