Our final year 9 maths masterclass happened at University of Liverpool 16-19 Maths School - Sixth Form .

10 students from Co-op Academy Bebington ventured into the centre of Liverpool to take part in a masterclass.

They explored mathematical puzzles, university courses and mathematical careers. Digging deep into engineering, finding problems and designing solutions as well as exploring.

After a tasty lunch of pizza provided by the Maths school, they had a tour of the campus. It showed the students where maths could take them and how studying STEM subjects can open many opportunities for their future.

Our amazing pupils from Co-op Academy Beckfield have been working on a very exciting project! They are the voices behind the brand new Eureka! advert for the exhibition shop sponsored by Co-op.

The children did an incredible job with the voiceover, showing huge confidence and teamwork. We are so proud to see our pupils representing the academy and our local community in such a special way.

It was fantastic to see Kim Leadbeater MBE visiting the breakfast club at Smithies Moor this week.

By using DfE funding to grow our breakfast clubs, we are making sure children are fed, happy, and ready to learn.

Well done to the whole team at Smithies Moor for creating such a welcoming space for their pupils.
