Upcoming PTA Events

The PTA plays a vital role in the school community and all parents and carers are automatically members. The PTA is primarily about raising funds to provide facilities and equipment which support the school and advance the education of all pupils, but through our fundraising activities we develop good relationships, and friendships, between parents and staff, and also have a lot of fun!

Annual PTA Wine Tasting Evening (Friday 21 September, 7.30-10.30pm, Dining Room)

All parents are invited to the PTA’s first event of the school year - the wine tasting quiz.

Tickets cost £12.50 each (over 18s only) and please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with requests for tickets. Tickets must be bought in advance for catering purposes.

All offers of raffle prizes gratefully received.

Everyone is welcome to a night of fine wine, and fabulous company with a prize for the most discerning palate!

AGM (Wednesday 26 September, 7pm, Dining Room)

One of the main purposes of the AGM is for parents to elect the PTA Committee for the forthcoming year. Our school has grown substantially in recent years and to reflect this we are asking more parents to step forward to elected roles. The main roles and their core purpose are:

• Chair – provide leadership, make all members welcome, set the agenda and ensure the committee fulfils it’s role.
• Secretary – Organise meetings, take minutes and distribute, keep accurate records.
• Treasurer – Manage accounts and financial records.
• Communication – maintaining and developing website, social media and publicity.

In addition to these elected committee members, we need 8 elected ordinary members, as School Reps. These should be 2 from Pre prep, 2 from Prep, 2 from Years 7-9 and 2 from Years 10-13. The roles will include organising school relevant events (such as discos), engaging with parent volunteers and relevant staff.

Anyone willing to stand for election for any post should send an email expression of interest to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by Saturday 22 September 2018, detailing the role they wish to take and which year(s) their child/children are in.

If you would like any further information about what is involved in any of the roles, please email Alice at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Record Year 7 Open Morning

A record number of visitors braved the weather conditions on Saturday to attend our final open event for those pupils and parents who are interested in joining the school in September 2019.

It is a credit to our pupils that so many volunteer to guide ever larger groups around the campus and tell the story of what “being a Lerpoolian” is really like. We receive so many compliments about our pupils and our staff on these occasions.

If you were not able to attend the open events and are interested in Year 7 entry in 2019, you can download the information booklet and other admission forms from our website here.

GCSE Results 2018

Our Year 11 pupils are celebrating their GCSE results.

Despite the policy to increase the difficulty of the examinations and the need for a new dictionary to explain the new measures, there were some stupendous performances. Laila W is one of 732 pupils across the country to achieve straight 9s across 9 subjects. Hannah B achieved 8 grade 9s and Liam M 7. There were 39 pupils who achieved better than 6 grade 7s and A grades.  50% of all grades in Physics were a 9.The pass rate in English and Maths was above 90% and the “old” EBacc score was 61%. It is difficult to compare year groups because of the changes to examinations but overall the achievement of the cohort was very similar to last year’s.

Amelia S, Shaun O, and Sahil D were progress champions and achieved fantastic results.

Well done to pupils and staff for all their hard work.
