We strongly believe a Little Lever student should not only strive to become academically successful but also to build themselves into a kind, responsible and moral citizen, with the confidence to stand equally amongst their peers. Our Wall of Fame aims to recognise and celebrate these qualities in our students. Here you will find the brilliant ways in which Little Lever students go above and beyond in participating in and contributing to extra-curricular clubs, sporting excellence, charitable acts and community work; helping them achieve things they never thought they could… OUR SPORTING CHAMPIONS Physical Education and sport provides young people not only with those opportunites to develop their physical and mental health, but it also nutures other qualities such as leadership, organisation, self discipline, working within a team, resilience and the concepts of fair play and equality. These students brilliantly represent these principals through their participation and success in school teams and competitions and community, town, regional, national and world sport.

They have officiated in a SEND table tennis cricket competition and have also gained a qualification for this from Lancashire Cricket.

OUR SLC Our SLC (Student Leadership Committee) plays a vital role in the life and direction of the school, as this body represents the voice of all our students. Made up of elected members from all year groups from Year 7 – 10, the SLC regularly meets to discuss the results of student voice surveys and school improvement initiatives and then present their feedback to senior leaders and the Trust. They also represent the school in local, national and international events and are exceptional role models for everyone. Our full list of SLC members are: OLIVIA VINING – PRESIDENT MALIKAH AKHTAR, PHOEBE ALSTON-FORRESTER, MOLLY AMBROSIUK, MEGAN BAXENDALE, MICHAEL BITHELL, RYAN CAIN, HANNAH CHERRY, JESSICA COLGAN, LUCIE FARRINGTON, CHARILE GREENHALGH, MEGAN HASLAM, NICOLE LOMAS, GRACIE LOWE, KELSI LYNCH, SOPHIA MAGARI, LAURA MELBOURNE, JOSHUA POYNTON, ILLYAAS SOWUNMI, DAISY WALL, ANNIE WARDLE AND TILLY WILSON.

We use the Oxford-style debating method where students prepare speeches on a pre-decided motion that can vary from topics such as geopolitics to important social issues. We enlist students in external competitions throughout the year, have also hosted rounds of national competitions at Little Lever, arrange fixtures against other schools in the local area, and have participated in an international Model United Nations conference in New York (with eight students winning prizes for their public speaking). The idea of public speaking is incredibly daunting to young people, but we believe that it is simply a matter of preparation, confidence, and practice. And of course, there is nothing like the buzz from winning an argument in front of an audience!

DRAMA When students participate in drama, they are often ‘getting out of their comfort zone’, building confidence in themselves and their public persona and learning to be part of a greater team. Our Performing Arts department host a range of clubs and performances througout the academic year. Our recent production of the musical Mary Poppins Jr was performed by students from all years and experiences. Front stage and back stage skills are valued in equal measure, making drama an inclusive enrichment activity for any student to participate in Mary Poppins Jr Cast and Ensemble Year 11: Drew Gudjoc – Mary Poppins Oliver Warren- George Banks Isabelle Earnshaw – Winifred Banks Jessica Chadwick – Mrs Smyth & Ensemble Emma Merry – Ensemble Jorja Robertson-Gent- Mrs Corry & Ensemble Year 10: Lily Phillips- Bert Megan Baxendale – Mrs Brill Jack Sisson- Neleus & Ensemble Erin Fairfield- Chairwoman & Ensemble Daisy Wall- Northbrook & Ensemble Mia Conway- Policewoman & Ensemble Gracie Lowe- Katie Nanna & Ensemble Year 9: Seb Ramdeal- Michael Banks Louie Evans- Robertson Ay Keira Gallagher- Mrs Corry & Ensemble Annie Wardle – Ensemble Hannah Cherry – Von Hussler & Ensemble Bronte Naylor- Messenger & Ensemble Year 8: Sophia Magari- Jane Banks Sasha Wilson- Miss Andrew & Ensemble Lucy Lister- Ensemble Nicole Lomas – Bird Woman & Ensemble Nathen Gaskell – Ensemble Ruby-May Holmes – Ensemble Jessica Ramsden – Ensemble MUSIC Music plays an intrinsic role in all our lives, adding a soundtrack to our lives.

The music team provide lots of opportunities to for students to study, rehearse and perform a wide range of musical genre’s. Our music groups and their members represent commitment, enthusiasm and creativity at its best.
