The Prescot School is a vibrant, inclusive secondary school at the heart of the Knowsley community. We are proud of our rich history and excited about our future, as we continue to grow into a school where high expectations, strong values, and a culture of kindness, integrity and Tenacity shape every aspect of school life.
Over the past year, The Prescot School has seen significant improvements across key areas:
- Behaviour and Culture – Clear routines and consistent expectations have transformed the atmosphere of the school. Classrooms are calm, purposeful spaces where learning comes first. Our “Legendary Learner” culture celebrates positive behaviour and ensures students understand that every choice matters. Suspensions have reduced significantly, while positive behaviour points have risen by over 70%.
- Attendance – Through relentless focus, parental engagement, and creative interventions, we have seen one of the largest year-on-year improvements in attendance across the local authority. Persistent absence has dropped by over 17%, with more students than ever achieving 95%+ attendance.
- Teaching and Learning – We have invested heavily in staff development, embedding instructional coaching and high-quality CPD. Every Friday morning begins with professional learning, ensuring that our teachers are well supported and continuously improving. Our “LEARN” structure underpins consistent, high-quality classroom practice.
- Curriculum and Outcomes – Ambitious curriculum design and improved teaching standards are driving better academic results. Our predicted Attainment 8 scores are rising year on year, with greater numbers of students set to achieve strong passes in English and Maths.
- Leadership and Support – A restructured leadership team has strengthened capacity, with new roles created to drive. We are committed to supporting staff at every level, with clear career development pathways and opportunities to lead change.
- Community and Ethos – Relationships with families and the wider community are stronger than ever. Parental engagement events are well attended, and local feedback highlights the visible improvements in student behaviour and pride in the school. Our values of kindness, integrity and Tenacity run through everything we do.
