Mock Trial Competition

Last weekend, Year 9 pupils represented Liverpool College in the Young Citizens Mock Trial Competition.  The pupils have been working for the past month in order to prepare for mock trials, in which they competed against eight other schools across the North West.

Travelling to Mold Magistrates Court in Wales, the team of fifteen pupils represented Liverpool College brilliantly. During the event, the pupils assumed the roles of defence lawyers, magistrates, prosecution lawyers, a legal advisor, the defendant, the usher, witnesses and even a court artist. The magistrate court judges were extremely impressed with our team’s performance, with Liverpool College winning in three of the seven categories.

Best Usher: Liverpool College – Jacob O’B

Best Legal Advisor: Liverpool College - Owen W

Best Court Artist: Liverpool College: Charlie S

Thank you to the numerous legal professionals who have helped to prepare the team over the past few months, which has included a judge, a magistrate, a barrister, a police officer and a defence lawyer. Their help was invaluable. A massive congratulations to the entire Liverpool College Magistrates team.

Important Update for Parents

We are focused on day to day operational matters and keeping the school open and safe for staff and pupils. In light of increasing staff and pupil absenteeism, the following measures will be in place from tomorrow (Wednesday 18 March) so we can focus resources on keeping school open:

  • School will finish at 3.15pm every day in Prep and Secondary Phase ie. there will be no activity periods on a Tuesday and a Thursday. Pre Prep will finish as usual at 3.30pm.
  • Secondary Phase after school and homework clubs - these will no longer be operating. Please make alternative arrangements to collect your child at the end of the school day.
  • Primary After School provision will remain open as long as we have the required staffing levels to operate this provision. When we are unable to staff this, you will be advised that the provision is suspended. Please start to make alternative plans now for this eventuality.
  • All scheduled Parents' Evenings are postponed indefinitely.
  • All trips are now postponed. We are working with all trip providers to manage the situation as best we can. We will update you as we find out more information on payment of outstanding balances or if trips are cancelled by the organisers any arrangements for refunds.

Y7 Hockey team put four goals past Archbishop Blanch

The Y7 hockey made the short journey to Archbishop Blanch on Wednesday to play in the Liverpool league. The team coached by Mr Green put on a display which impressed not only the coach but also watching parents who proudly cheered the team as they scored four fantastic team goals. It was their teamwork which impressed Mr Green and the passing and moving of the ball and stick provided brilliant entertainment.

Excellent Y7 rugby team performance

On Wednesday, the Y7 rugby team made the short distance to play St Edwards College. The team enthused by a recent win over St Margaret's started the match rather nervously and found themselves two tries down with the early minutes. But a few changes by coach Mr Muscatelli enabled Liverpool College to get into their stride and a period of dominance ended with Maleek A scoring a super try. Despite St Edwards restoring their two try lead the College put up a great display and impressed their watching coach. Special mention must go to Yusef A, Jake G and Ekell B who are new additions to the team.

U13 Rugby 7s Tournament

On Monday, the U13 team played in a rugby 7s tournament at Birkenhead School. The team looked like they were ready to prove a point after recent losses before they even set foot on the pitch. After a short warm up, the pupils got into action in the first match versus Birkenhead School, and despite losing that match the College went on to produce some of their best performances since they were formed in Year 7. Those performances were rewarded with three superb results.

Results were:

  • Loss vs Birkenhead (1-3)
  • Win vs Scarisbrick (3-2)
  • Win vs Lymn (2-0)
  • Win vs Kings Macclesfield (6-0)

U13 Player of the day - Oliver H

Music Masters Concert

On Thursday, pupils from Years 7-9 entertained their friends and family at the 'Music Masters' Concert.  Performances ranged from solos to ensemble items, including many pieces the pupils had composed themselves.  It was great to see the Year 7 and 8 music scholars taking a leading role, performing with confidence and great musicianship.  We look forward to seeing these young musicians develop further!
