Year 11 English Revision

Revision for Year 11 takes place every Monday from 4:00 to 4.30 pm. We encourage all Year 11 students to attend. These sessions will run till the start of GCSEs in May. 

During the session we will focus on a specific aspect of the course; the students can then show us the work that we have done to continue with their own independent revision during the week.

We look forward to seeing as many of Year 11 in these sessions as possible.

Can You Help Shape the Next Generation of Engineers?

We are looking for engineering employers across the Liverpool City Region to offer meaningful industry placements to our growing T-Level cohort.

Our T-Level Engineering programme is expanding, with a larger cohort of talented young people preparing to take their first steps into the engineering and manufacturing sector. This growth is exciting for our students and for the future skills pipeline of the Liverpool City Region, but it also means we need to build new partnerships with local employers who can offer high-quality industry placements.

We are asking parents, carers and members of our wider school community to help. If you work for, own, or have links with an engineering-related organisation that may be able to host a T-Level student, please get in touch. Opportunities could come from a wide range of sectors, including advanced manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, construction, civil engineering, product design, CAD, maintenance, fabrication, electronics, mechatronics, energy, utilities and technical services.

Hosting a student is not about finding someone to make tea or simply observe from the sidelines. The most valuable placements allow a young person to experience a real workplace, contribute to appropriate tasks, learn from professionals and understand how engineering projects are delivered safely and effectively. In return, employers can make a practical difference while building relationships with emerging local talent.

Please contact Dan Howard directly on [email protected] if you are able to help. Thank you. 

This is such an essential life skill, and we encourage everyone to learn, as many people want to do the right thing but sometimes do not know how. You can have a go here.

The students were exceptional and worked very well to complete the training and support their casualty.

Knife Crime Awareness Sessions

We welcomed Rob Jackson, an Emergency Nurse Clinician, to speak to Ignite, Year 10 and Sixth Form students. Rob delivers powerful workshops highlighting the real-world impact and dangers of knife crime. Rob is deeply passionate about educating young people on the severe risks associated with carrying knives or associating with those who do. 

We would like to thank Rob for delivering such an impactful session to our pupils. 

Biology Week

This week, we celebrated Biology Week in our schools. We showcased this year's Francis Crick Prize Lecture: Pathogens and the power of evolution, to Sixth Form students with an interest in Biology and a selection of Scholar students. 

The lecture focussed on what Professor Kayla King and her team's research means for predicting how pathogens evolve and become more harmful in today's changing world.

Throughout the week, we also promoted the Biology Week: ASAB 2026 Infographic Competition, where we asked our students to convey information using both words and images by designing a poster regarding animal behaviour or multiple species of non-human animals. Category winners will have their infographics featured in the journal Animal Behaviour. 

The picture below is one of our students, Manuela's, competition entry "Sea Angel." 

Students in Project Based Learning also sketched and coloured their entries, or used graphics and display packages, or a mixture of the two. Several of our visiting Spanish students also joined in the fun.

22 selected works have been entered into the competition, including “Bison Charge” by Molly in Year 12, and an entry from one of our Spanish Visitors, Inez.

Congratulations and well done to all who took part!

Geography Field Work Trip

Mr Storey and Holly took Year 12 Geography students on a fantastic field trip to Llandudno, North Wales. The weather was sunny all day, making it perfect for exploring the beautiful coastline and surrounding landscape.

Students enjoyed plenty of walking, climbing the Great Orme and visiting the fascinating Bronze Age copper mines. One of the highlights of the day was spotting seals and their pups resting on the beach!

The trip provided a brilliant opportunity to experience geography first-hand, bringing classroom learning to life while enjoying a memorable day outdoors.

Rewards Breakfast

A group of Year 10 students who received 100% attendance this half-term was treated to a rewards breakfast led by KS4 Head of Year Mr Schofield. 

Pictured are just a few of our students who enjoyed their rewards.  Congratulations to all our pupils. 

In our Sixth Form (CUC6), we specialise in the Engineering Pathway. 

The teachers to talk to are Dan in room 2.27, Andy in 2.22, and Josh in 2.21
