On Thursday 16th October, a small group of Year 9 pupils visited the University of Liverpool for a University 'taster day', to find out more about the fantastic opportunities available, and the support which can be offered to students as this fantastic University.

Year 8 have been exploring their creativity in design this week. Some of our very talented pupils have been looking at product design from the drawing stage to prototype stage.

On Wednesday 3rd October we joined 6000 schools across the country to participate in the Communication Trust’s ‘No Pens Day’ event.

These ranged from discussion and group work tasks to presentations and created a fantastic buzz of enthusiastic learning around the College.
