We have just learnt that we have seven Liverpool College pupils who were selected as winners for the Merseyside and Cheshire region in the 'If you were an Engineer' Competition.
The competition was organised through Engineering Leaders and every child in KS1, KS2 and KS3 was given an opportunity to participate, with Wilton Scholars and those attending Enterprise activities in KS4 also asked to submit an entry. To participate, pupils had to identify a problem they had observed in real life, invent a solution to that problem, illustrate and annotate their creation, promote their product through a descriptive ‘Pitch Letter’ and meet a real engineer.
We have winners in every category, from every part of the school. This is a phenomenal achievement!
As their entries were submitted last academic year, the key stage awards are as follows:
- Pre Prep - Jacob T, Rowan C
- Prep - Lucas D, Miranda H
- KS3 - Alicia E
- KS4 - Emily T and George H
As well as receiving medals and prizes, their work will be displayed through the Merseyside and Cheshire Gallery, which will be going live on Tuesday 27 October. Details to follow.
Well done to all our winners and to all those who entered. The standard from Liverpool College was described as superb!

Prep pupils tuned into a live broadcast with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center this week, listening to experts from the Space Camp. Space Camp is an educational camp in Alabama, on the grounds of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center museum which provides educational programs for children and adults on themes such as space exploration, aviation and robotics.
In the broadcast, pupils explored astronaut training, careers in space and how the organisation has helped past students to become astronauts. Hosted by Liverpool’s own astronaut trainee Dr Jacyln Bell, the show featured NASA’s Planetarium Director and Space Camp’s senior director of communications.
