A night to remember! ✨ Last week, our Sixth For A night to remember! ✨

Last week, Year 7 enjoyed a fantastic day explorin Last week, Year 7 enjoyed a fantastic day exploring Halton Castle and @nortonpriory as part of their historical site study on Medieval England.

At Halton Castle, pupils toured the ruins and got hands-on with replica armour and weapons. After lunch in the sunshine, they headed to Norton Priory for an interactive workshop where they solved a history mystery, tried writing with quills, and made their own herbal 'Muzzy-Tuzzies'.

The day ended with some friendly competition and a visit to the gift shop, a brilliant way to bring their history learning to life!

Earlier this month, a group of Sixth Form pupils t Earlier this month, a group of Sixth Form pupils travelled to the University of St Andrews to compete in the finals of the National Ethics Cup - a prestigious competition combining debate and public speaking around complex ethical issues.

Pupils presented and defended their views on topics including AI in music, online gossip, and social media identity, before being cross-examined by both judges and opposing teams. The competition demanded careful research, clear communication, and agile critical thinking.

Our team performed strongly, winning their opening heat against Winstanley College before being narrowly defeated by Runshaw College. Despite not progressing to the semi-finals, the pupils gained invaluable experience and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge, particularly the chance to meet and connect with students from across the UK.

We are very proud of how they represented the school and are grateful for the support of the Old Girls’ and Old Boys’ Associations in making the trip possible.
Earlier this week, we launched our Strategic Direc Earlier this week, we launched our Strategic Direction 2025–2030, a forward-looking plan that sets out our priorities for the years ahead, including our commitment to academic excellence, pupil wellbeing, and investment in facilities and infrastructure.

As part of our transition to a fully coeducational school from September 2025, we are undertaking a number of developments across the site, including the full refurbishment of our swimming pool to support sport and physical education for all pupils.

Yesterday’s Speech Day at Liverpool’s Philharm Yesterday’s Speech Day at Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall was a wonderful celebration of the achievements of our pupils right across the senior schools.
