Our School and its Organisation
In 2004-05, we celebrated our 75th Anniversary.
We were founded in 1928 under the Trusteeship of the Sisters of Mercy and cater for girls aged 11-18 years. Boys are admitted to the Sixth Form at 16+. At present, there are 1281 pupils on roll. Broughton Hall provides the very best in modern education for your child. Our school motto, ‘Cor Unum et Anima Una’ – ‘One Heart and One Mind’ – reflects the strong sense of community amongst staff, pupils, parents and governors. The central aim of our school is to provide the very best educational opportunities enabling each girl to develop her God-given talents, to grow in confidence and self esteem and fulfil her potential up to and including Oxbridge entrance.

The Catholic ethos of the school strives to demonstrate that we respect and value every member of the school community and is supported by the work of our School Chaplain. We have high expectations of all the children in terms of quality and presentation of their work and of their general conduct.
A Technology College since 1998, we are aware of the need to prepare our pupils to achieve the necessary qualifications and skills for their adult lives. A wide range of courses at all levels is available with access to the most up to date equipment. A full range of extra-curricular activities is provided to further the aesthetic, sporting and academic talents of each pupil. Through our Community Courses and Family of Schools, we have extended educational opportunities to all ages.
Our community education programme reflects the belief that education is a lifelong process and we strive to instil the necessary values and attitudes to work to enable all pupils to find fulfilment in a rapidly changing world.
We believe that, by fostering self reliance, self control, initiative and the ability to make reasoned judgements, our pupils, with God’s help, will develop into caring adults, showing concern for others and contribute much to the development of society in the 21st Century.
Our facilities include a newly opened £1.5m Technology/Arts block, state of the art Science laboratories, a well equipped Gym and a modern Dance Studio. Why not view the facilities on our Virtual School Tour.
In 2002, Broughton Hall was invited to become one of the first 101 Leading Edge Schools nationwide. The programme was established to identify, extend and spread excellence in the secondary sector, in order to support the continued improvement of teaching and learning in schools. As a Leading Edge school, Broughton Hall works in close collaboration with 12 Liverpool secondary schools.
In the same year, the West Derby Networked Learning Community (WDNLC) was established. The network is made up of Broughton Hall, Cardinal Heenan and 10 partner primary schools, and is dedicated to the improvement of standards and opportunities for both pupils, parents and teachers within the cluster. Network schools are linked electronically through the use of Radio WAN technology. |
