On Wednesday 29th April, students from Years 10, 11, 12, and 13 enjoyed an unforgettable visit to the Liverpool Empire Theatre to watch the acclaimed musical Miss Saigon, led by Mr Emery.

The Tod Scholarship presentations this year were nothing short of exceptional. A total of 11 presentations were delivered, each demonstrating the depth of research, preparation, and ambition of our pupils. The range of proposed destinations was equally impressive, with students presenting thoughtfully on trips to Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam, Milan, Budapest, and Lisbon.
There was barely an empty seat in the LRC as The Blue Coat School hosted another public lecture by the Classical Association of Liverpool. The speaker was Nia Morris, a former Blue Coat pupil who studied Latin under Dr Lawell. She also learnt Greek in Liverpool through the Classics for All Greek Academy before going on to study Classics at Clare College, Cambridge. We were immensely proud to welcome her back to Blue Coat as she shared her expertise on Greek food culture and dining practices.
Over the past month, Blue Coat School has conducted a series of interviews to appoint its new Senior Prefect Team.

All successful candidates have now received their official letters of appointment, along with their prefect ties, marking the beginning of their leadership journey within the school community.
Blue Coat School is delighted to celebrate the exceptional achievement of Year 10 student William, who has been awarded a Gold Medal in the prestigious United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Hamilton Mathematical Olympiad.
