Maghull High School has been recognised as a Finalist in the Sefton School of the Year Award sponsored by Southport Education Group.
The team at the school were applauded for their efforts in supporting children at the 2026 Grand Pride Of Sefton Awards at The Grand in Southport.
Maghull High School is committed to not only delivering high quality education to all its learners, but is committed to supporting the wider community in line with our ethos of Aspire; Achieve; Enjoy.
They saw great success within the last academic year, thanks to the inspiring leadership of new Headteacher, Matthew Kay and his dedicated team of staff, governors, parents and students.
Maghull High School is proud of the Student Leadership Team it has created which has seen the creation of many projects across the school to support a range of causes.
Working with the fantastic organisation called Social Signature, the school has led the way in enabling students to leave their mark (or their ‘social signature’) across the school and wider community.
Maghull High School is exceptionally proud to have created, alongside Cllr Chloe Parker of Maghull Town Council, the first ever Maghull Youth Council led by two students from the school, and supported by a number of students across our local primary and secondary schools within the MADCOS Cluster (Maghull and Aintree District Schools). This all came about after Maghull High School took the lead and initiative to bring together all student councils from local schools to tackle anti-social behaviour in the community.
The 2026 Grand Pride Of Sefton Awards celebrated selfless, talented and courageous people across 13 categories at The Grand in Southport on 24th April 2026.
