Broad Square Bulletin Issue 3 – Friday 21St September Broad Square Bulletin Issue 3 – Friday 21st September Message from the Headteacher . This week it has been wonderful to welcome so many parents and carers of children in Y1-Y6 to our 'Meet the Teachers' sessions. We hope that those who were able to attend really appreciated hearing about the expectations for their child's year ahead. I know that morning meetings can sometimes be difficult to attend, especially if you work so we have uploaded the presentations onto our website. Visit the parents page on the information tab to access them. Y4 had an insightful trip this week which included a guided tour of Liverpool with one of the city's Blue Badge Guides. They have learnt such a lot about the history of our wonderful city which will underpin the rest of their topic this term. The guide complemented our children on their outstanding behaviour and he was also very impressed in their eagerness to learn and have a go at all of the activities. Thank you again for your efforts with getting children into school every day and on time. We had 2 classes last week with 100% attendance, which is fantastic. A letter with all the key dates for the term ahead will be sent to you next week and we will also be putting them onto our website. These will include any further opportunities for family learning.

    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.

The proportion of state school students at my old university, Oxford, had fallen from around two-thirds when I was there in the late Sixties, to under a half; and my old school, Reigate Grammar, where all places had been free, was now – along with many other former grammar and direct grant schools – fully fee-paying, closed to the vast majority of children on its doorstep. It soon became clear to me that these examples were symptomatic of a wider and significant decline in the opportunities available to bright children from non-privileged backgrounds. That was my motivation for establishing the Sutton Trust and joining with the Girls’ Day School Trust to introduce Open Access, or needs-blind admission as it is known in the US, to The Belvedere School one of the GDST’s 26 high performing schools. We wanted the School’s first-rate teaching and ethos of excellence to be available to all girls in its local area, with every place allocated on the basis of merit alone, not ability to pay.
