Going to High School is exciting but can be a little bit scary too, so if you have any questions or
concerns, no matter how big or small, you only have to ask a member of our lovely staff. There
is always someone here for you to speak to.
Pupils in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 are very friendly and would be happy to help you too.
I am sure you will love your time at Litherland High. There are lots of great opportunities here
for you. Enjoy.

Computer Science is my favourite subject as it is by far the most interesting subject
taught in the school.
When you have freetime, how do you like to spend it?
I like to play golf; although I find it very frustrating at times (I can play really well one
day and then the next time I go it’s like I’ve never played the game before).
What message do you want to share with our new Year 7 students?
I know that these are unusual times; the end of primary school and the start of
secondary school will be different. Don’t worry about coming to Litherland High
you will be well looked after. Many of the teachers have their own kids in primary &
secondary schools. We understand how you might be feeling and will do everything
to make sure your start to the school is a good one (make sure you opt for
Computer Science when you take your options in Year 9).
