University of Liverpool Trip

Last week, we ran our regular trip to the University of Liverpool for Year 11 Freshers. Seventy of those who have applied for a place in our Sixth Form were up at the crack of dawn to catch the train from Euston. Once en-suite rooms were allocated in Crown Place halls of residence, pupils took part in a treasure hunt around the city centre. There were some tired legs when we settled down for dinner in Pizza Express before we returned to our halls via the docks and Matthew Street, where the famous Cavern Club is located.

The next morning, we were provided with an amazing breakfast followed by talks on Higher Education and student life, and a campus tour, before catching the train home. Pupils very much appreciated the opportunity to sample university life first hand.
