Dear Families

As the summer holidays draw to a close I hope that you have managed to find some down time and the opportunity to catch up with family and friends.  I am sure for some the time went very quickly, but we do look forward to returning to routine and the start of the 2023/24 Autumn term. 

Sixth form students from St John Plessington Catholic College were thrilled to return to college today to collect their long-awaited A-level and BTEC results.

71% of grades were A* - C or equivalent. 95% of grades were A*-E 

Liverpool John Moores University recently invited students from across the country to enter a nationwide competition where they were asked to articulate what 'respect' means to them. As with our own community, 'respect' is one of LJMU's intrinsic values.

We are thrilled to announce that Edward has been chosen to represent the Merseyside Schools Athletics Association at the highly anticipated North West Region Combined Events Championships. This prestigious event will be held at the Northwood Stadium in Stoke on Trent on the weekend of June 24th-25th, 2023.

A small cohort of Year 12 students have been working with the Scholars Programme (The Brilliant Club) over the course of this year and they have been successful in completing this course. I would personally like to congratulate them on this outstanding achievement.  This has been a fantastic opportunity for them that comes at a considerable expense to the school. However, this has provided each pupil with much transferable knowledge, skills and quality content to add to their personal statement and curriculum vitae. 

Dear Parents/Carers

I hope that you are well.  Following on from my letter last week I write to update you with details for the planned NEU strike action which takes place Tuesday 2nd May, after the school is closed on Monday 1st May Bank Holiday.
