One sunny Sunday in Liverpool, 'The Boarders' enjoyed seeing the sites of Liverpool on the 'hop on hop off' bus. They learnt about all of Liverpool's major sights, including The Royal Albert Dock, our iconic waterfront and both of the magnificent cathedrals.

They have arrived!
A big welcome to 'The Boarders of 2021'. We have children from all over the world, aged 11-18. It is going to be an interesting year, filled with sports, drama, music and (hopefully) lots of laughter.
We all know by now, I love a good photo opportunity. Here they are stood by the famous Penny Lane street sign. I was surprised when I found out that a few didn't know who the Beatles were, they are now familiar with what songs they sing after I sang to them!

There was huge excitement last Saturday as the return of fixtures saw both the Y7 and Y8 rugby teams put on fantastic team performances to beat Bolton School. Many pupils playing a rugby match for the first time were spurred on by LC families at both the home playing fields and some Y7 families travelled to Bolton. Special mention to Y8 pupil Erdis R (Howson's), playing his first ever rugby match, who produced a brilliant passionate display and was rewarded with his first ever try. All the pupils represented the College brilliantly in full school uniform and portraying excellent manners.

The first week of the academic year saw a record number of over 400 pupils enter the sports fields to participate in several sporting activities. The first house competition took place as all Y8 boys participated in a Rugby House Competition. The battle of the House giants saw Brook's come out as triumphant winners. Whilst the competition was taking place, all Y7 boys and girls engaged in hockey and rugby trials support by number of Y10 pupils. Halfway through the morning the Y8 girls entered the fields before all pupils in Y7 and Y8 took the short trip to Sefton Park for the eagerly awaited 2021-22 House Run. The winners were Y7 girls - Lexi W (Butler's), Y7 boys - Ethan B (Howson's), Y8 girls - Eve R (Butler's) and Y8 boys - Hugo M (Howard's) and Ben M (Brook's) joint first. The final part of the morning saw the 1st XV rugby team take to the field and eventually narrowly lost by a try to Austin Friars. An excellent morning of sport supported brilliantly by all families.

Liverpool College pupils are celebrating a set of excellent results, achieved under the most unusual of circumstances.
Our A level candidates were rewarded for their efforts with strong results, excellent university places, with well over 50% of students obtaining a place at a Russell Group University, including 5 students who gained places at Oxbridge. 5 candidates obtained places to study medicine.
Our GCSE candidates all achieved what they need for their next steps. For a majority this will be studying in our Sixth Form along with more than 50 externally recruited qualified candidates from all over the country, and through boarding, the world. Others will be taking up apprenticeships and other college courses in areas a varied as digital media and applied sciences.
Congratulations to all our pupils and a great thank you to our wonderful staff who have inspired them persevered with them in these difficult times.
