On Thursday, 15 Year 12 and Year 13 students travelled to Cambridge as part of our Oxbridge application support programme. Noah R (Y12 Howson's) has written an account of the day:
We arrived at Magdalene College at around 11:30 am. We were given a tour of the grounds and the architecture was amazing. We were also given a tour of the Library which was huge. We were then shown around the student village.
After lunch, at around 2.00 pm we went on a tour of Gonville and Caius https://www.cai.cam.ac.uk/ as well as seeing a physiology lecture theatre. The rest of our afternoon was made up of several sessions: one where we were given a perspective of how university essays work and how to manage time at university as we were given a university essay style question. Furthermore, we had a session where the Student Liaison Officer gave us valuable advice about the admissions process at Cambridge as well as how to prepare for the exams and teaching at the University. We finished the day by taking a walk to the ‘beach’ at the river where a current student told us a story of how a former student fell into a tourist’s punt at the river.
It was a very enjoyable day with some very good advice which will have definitely helped all of the students when the time comes to apply to universities. We thank Mr Broekman and Mrs Cassidy for taking us.

Friends, family and colleagues of Steve Doran gathered at the Warrington Relay for Life last weekend to raise money in his memory for the fight against cancer.
There many teams in honour of Steve: Knowing me Knowing Ste, Steve Doran’s Storm Troopers, Steve’s Troopers, Steve’s Phoenix Knights, Ste’s league of Gentlemen and Steve’s Cancer Busters. The Liverpool College Choir performed and Grace M from Y7 sang. Crispin the camel walked the fancy dress lap and even a team of parents came along - with Mr D, a Liverpool College parent, DJing at the disco. A real community effort.
