On the 12th March, we held our heat of the Co-op Academies Trust Cookery Competition, with 14 KS3 students taking part. Working in pairs, they had just one hour to make a pizza from scratch!

Our panel of three judges all agreed that the winners were Max and Ollivor with their inventive Indian spiced pizza – well done, guys!

Everyone did a great job, and it was tough to choose, so a huge thanks to everyone who took part and gave it their all.

A big thank you also to Tom from Chartwells and Melanie, our Academy Community Pioneer, for judging alongside Mr Fletcher.

From April to July 2026, the School Age Immunisation Service will be offering the HPV vaccine to all Year 8 students, as well as students in Years 9–11 who have not yet received it. The vaccine is offered to both boys and girls.

Every year, International HPV Awareness Day takes place on 4 March. It’s an opportunity to raise awareness about HPV and the protection the vaccine provides.

We are incredibly proud to share that 25 of our Year 9 students have successfully completed training with the MYA RAISE Team and have been commissioned by the Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership (MVRP) as Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP)

The MVP programme is a powerful peer-education initiative, equipping young people with the language, confidence and framework to challenge gender-based violence, bullying and harmful attitudes — while promoting resilience and positive mental health.

Last week, the year 9 mentors delivered the first session to year 7 students during their PSHE lesson.

Don’t just take our word for how fantastic they were, see the quotes from students and staff.

'The boys were fantastic today, they were so confident and were so passionate about the topic' Ms Martinez

“The boys in my group were fantastic, confident, funny, and able to explain everything really well. They were also great at managing a Year 7 class. I am so proud of them.” — Ms Hargreaves

"The lesson really made me think about what a bystander is and why it's important to stand up to what is right" Lexi yr 7 student

"It made me think about gender stereotypes". Ollivor, year 7

Selected Year 7 students have begun the Men at Work programme.

This initiative supports boys and young men to explore what it means to be safe, to be safe to be around, and to build positive, healthy lives. The programme looks at cultural and social influences around masculinity and encourages thoughtful discussion and self-reflection.

Well done to all the students who have already completed the first two dialogues, “Respect” and “The Man Rules.”

They’ll continue working through the remaining sessions across the academic year — and we look forward to keeping you updated on their progress!

As part of the Sunlight Soap Challenge, run by the Port Sunlight Village Trust in conjunction with Unilever, our Year 10 Graphic Design students were tasked with inventing, branding, and marketing their own soap products alongside other Wirral secondary schools.

We are thrilled to announce that two of our teams made it to the final judging stage and won 2 of the 3 categories:

• 'Triple L Designs' won Best Packaging Design for their 'Fraicheur' soap. Judges commended their professional, cohesive branding and well thought out ingredients.
• 'Da Boyz Designs' won Most Creative Idea, praised for their "joined-up thinking" and innovative marketing strategy.

Huge congratulations to both teams for their incredible achievements!

The work is on display at the Soapworks museum in Port Sunlight over half term.

On 2nd February, we coordinated Mock Interviews for over 250 students from Year 10, Year 11, and Year 13.

The preparation started early - in Form time, assemblies, and at home with parents/carers.

Many arrived looking nervous, some even refusing to take part initially. But, they left with big smiles and great feedback from the interviewers. Students should be very proud of themselves.
Feedback from the interviewers was outstanding and they all loved meeting our students.

Thank you to everyone who helped the students prepare and to those who gave up their time to come into school.
