    1 Editor’s Note Welcome to the first edition of Liverpool College’s Middle School Magazine College Column. Over the past few months, I have been working with both Year 8 Butler’s and Year 8 Brook’s during Thursday activity sessions to bring you this inaugural issue. Firstly, I would like to applaud the efforts of all pupils that were involved in the making of this very first version of College Column. I am extremely grateful for the hard work and dedication demonstrated by the pupils of both Butler’s and Brook’s during this process. Moreover, I would like to thank Mr Cartwright for arranging this activity and allowing pupils to become creative outside of the classroom. It has been a privilege to see pupils develop original ideas into complete articles. Additionally, I am very excited to begin working on future editions of College Column with the other Year 8 forms throughout the remainder of the academic year. If you’re in a Year 8 form, get thinking of future articles that you would like to include in your personal issue of College Column. Finally, to you the reader, thank you for taking the time to read the very first College Column. This version of College Column puts particular emphasis on Liverpool College’s recent (and quite frankly fantastic GCSE results) in addition to providing advice for our new Year 7 pupils, a range of original pieces of creative writing and information about the impending school play Bye, Bye Birdie. There are a range of puzzles and activities to complete in the magazine.

  • YEAR 7 ADMISSIONS 2021 INFORMATION BOOKLET Becoming a Lerpoolian
    YEAR 7 ADMISSIONS 2021 INFORMATION BOOKLET Becoming a Lerpoolian Tel : 0151 724 4000 www.liverpoolcollege.org.uk INTRODUCTION TO LIVERPOOL COLLEGE Who we are: In 1840, Liverpool College was founded on a commitment to educate the whole person. Although we made this pledge over 175 years ago, it has never been more relevant than today. Our motto, “Non solum ingenii verum etiam virtutis”—to build ‘not only the intellect, but also the character’— speaks directly to the resilience and flexibility required for a life of learning. It reflects the balance of ability and resilience needed to flourish and finds its contemporary expression in our focus on ‘Learning with Character’. Every young person that joins our school has the potential to excel regardless of their background or any disadvantage. By developing ‘Learning with Character’ we create the structure around which potential grows and flourishes, the foundation on which personal fulfilment and excellence is built. Our insistence on “Learning with Character” throughout the College is embodied and practised in our three core Lerpoolian traits: Purpose, Passion, Challenge. For pupils from Reception to Year 13, we pursue our founders’ intention through the implementation of our unique and challenging LCA+ curriculum, consisting of seven academic and subject strands and seven strands of personal and social development. We intend for every pupil, whatever their background or ability to leave Liverpool College not only with the best possible academic qualifications and skills for university and further education and training but also with the character, love of learning and confidence to lead a happy, productive and fulfilling life Mr H van Mourik Broekman Principal Please bear in mind whilst reading this information that all the arrangements are subject to change due to the unknown situation regarding Covid-19 restrictions.
