School shortlisted for innovation award

Our digital learning strategy has been shortlisted for a prestigious accolade by Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.

The Innovation in Business Awards recognise those businesses and individuals who have driven their organisation forward throughout the year.

We are proud to have been shortlisted in the Skills & Employability category, primarily for our 1:1 Devices Strategy, which will see all pupils in Years 7 -11 receive their own individual Microsoft Surface Go 3. This phased rollout begins in September 2022, when pupils in Years 7, 9 and 10 will receive their devices, and will be completed by September 2023.

Each award category presents a traditional award to an outstanding business in the field, alongside a supplementary special award for an innovator that has modernised to the advantage of their business, team and wider community.

The aim of this new approach is to further enhance the digital literacy and skills of all Merchant Taylors’ pupils in a world that demands flexibility and supports our efforts to become a Microsoft Showcase School in the coming years.

Developing these skills will challenge us as a School to develop our curriculum model and how we deliver our lessons in the classroom and beyond.
