No doubt that the main focus of this very busy week has been the completion of UCAS applications. Students, form tutors, subject teachers and Mrs Gilligan have been working hard together to make sure the applications are first class. I have to say, reading and writing references is, once again, a real pleasure. Some students [...]
A superb week that started and finished with rather special events. The week got off to a fabulous start with our current Year 12 students returning to main school to collect their richly deserved certificates and awards during their GCSE presentation evening. A lovely evening, full of smiles, celebrations and plenty of pride. The week ended [...]
Last week got off to a busy start with our A Level Psychology students spending an informative and thought provoking day at the Law Courts in Chester.

A productive week here in College! Great effort from all students (and Form Tutors!) on Wednesday morning as they engaged in the first inter-form competitions of the year. Some impressive performances in the tug-o-war and effective collaboration and cooperation in a range of team challenges. Who will be the form champions this year?? Wednesday afternoon [...]

Our Year 13 and 14 students have returned with a purposeful and determined manner, knowing exactly what is needed of them to make the absolute most of their last year with us.

Firstly the Summer Music Concert - performances by our super talented Year 12 and 13 students left me speechless. From Jonathan Vu and Caitlin [...]

Eva Yuen (Y13) presented her ‘Should Muscular Dystrophy be genetically eradicated’ project entered into the ‘Research’ category. Rachael Joyce (Y13) presented her ‘Passive Amplifier’ in the ‘Best Innovation – Model, Prototype [...]
By far the highlight of last week was the appearance of our Yr 12 Economics Students on BBC Northwest being interviewed about their views and opinions on the EU referendum and how being 'in' or 'out' is likely to impact on young people. Thank you to Mr Shaw who was very determined to make sure the youth [...]
