Welcome, I am very pleased to introduce you to our school website. De La Salle is a school, which is improving in many ways, and I can assure you that we will seek to maintain this progress in every aspect of school life.
We aim to provide the best possible education and opportunity for personal development for every one of our young people, and our success in fulfilling this aim can be seen in the fact that we achieved our best-ever GCSE results in 2007.
One of the clearest indicators of a successful school is its rate of attendance, and in the academic year of 2006 - 2007, De La Salle has had an attendance rate of 91.7%, which is above the average for schools in the Liverpool area.
In order to ensure that pupils have the best possible chance of settling down after the transition from primary school, we have in recent years introduced a radical new arrangement for year 7 and year 8 pupils. Pupils are housed in a separate building, with their own lockers, water to drink in every classroom and a separate playground.
Heads of year have offices in the building and there is also a computer room within the year 7 and 8 block. This arrangement for our younger pupils has been commented on favourably by her Majesty's inspectors for schools and by representatives of the Liverpool Education Authority and we believe that pupils coming into the school benefit significantly in their transition from primary school.
The school is continuing to invest in ICT, as we believe that this is appropriate to meet the demands of education in the 21st Century. We have made considerable improvements to our music facilities and aim to develop music technology courses within the next twelve months. Our range of sports is ever-increasing and we now have teams playing football, rugby, cricket, basketball and volleyball amongst other sports.
At De La Salle we believe in partnership with parents. We can best fulfil the potential of your son by working with you and we pledge to keep you regularly informed of developments in the school that affect your son. We want parents to feel that they are part of the school community, to feel that they are able to discuss with us any concerns that they have and to celebrate our successes with us.
On this website, you will find some of the exciting opportunities which we offer to our pupils and we hope that you will consider that De La Salle is the right school for your son. If you would like to see the school for yourself, please contact us to make an appointment.
