Is there a better way to warm up ahead of kick off this evening?!
Very much looking forward to our Beatles concert this evening!!! 🎸🎹🥁🎶
Thank you to everyone for all your support at today’s very successful summer fair. It was a great turnout.
A special mention to GSP staff and @FriendsofGSP as without you organising and running it, it would not have taken place.
Today we celebrate an incredible Year 11 cohort ✨
You've filled Penketh High with memories, laughter & determination. We're so proud of everything you've achieved & wish you every success for the future.
You'll always be part of the Penketh High family 💙
Good luck Yr 11 🌟
Fearless, fierce and relentless are 3 words I’d use to describe these boys on the rugby pitch tonight.
It wasn’t our night to be crowned winners as St Philip’s beat us 6-4, but my goodness did those boys put up a fight.
We couldn’t be any prouder of them. They were brilliant.
Good luck to our boys playing in the final of the Fire 7s tonight at the Halliwell Jones stadium.
Can’t wait to cheer you on! 🏉

Sunshine, teamwork, campfire fun and adventure! ☀️🏕️
Our Duke of Edinburgh pupils had a fantastic time on last week's expedition, showing resilience, independence and great team spirit as they worked towards their awards.
Memories for a lifetime – well done, everyone! 👏✨
Another fantastic performance from our GSP Dance Squad tonight at the TCAT Performs show.
The confidence, the energy, the talent and the smiles from this bunch of girls are second to none. They made the staff and their families so proud.
