Welcome from Mrs Code
It is my privilege to welcome you to St Hilda’s. My name is Jo Code and, as headteacher, I am delighted to welcome you to our website and to share with you what makes St Hilda’s so extraordinary.
As the only co-educational 11–18 Church of England school in Liverpool, St Hilda’s is unique. Our students, staff and modern, purpose-built facilities in the leafy setting of Sefton Park make St Hilda’s a wonderful place to learn.
Our Vision – our guide for life’s journey
Every parent/carer and child looking at secondary schools rightly expects excellence in teaching, impressive examination results, experienced pastoral care, and high standards of discipline. At St Hilda’s these are givens! What sets us apart is our passionate belief that every student can achieve beyond expectations—because we root everything in Christian values.
At St Hilda’s, our foundation is built on the timeless values of Wisdom, Hope, Community, Dignity, Equality, and Diversity, guiding everything we do.
Here, we challenge our students to grow intellectually, spiritually, and personally — to make wise choices, support one another, and build a future full of purpose.
We believe that by learning together in faith and respect, each student can flourish and contribute powerfully to our school, our local community, and beyond.
Whether you’re a student, parent, or visitor, thank you for being part of the St Hilda’s family — we’re delighted to have you here.
![We were delighted to welcome author and motivational speaker Tony Griffin to St Hilda's on 16 October to speak with our Year 9 pupils about his inspiring book, The Teenager's Book of Life.
Drawing on his experiences as a curling athlete, the loss of his father and his own mental health journey, Tony delivered a powerful and honest message about resilience, self-belief and overcoming challenges. His authenticity and openness resonated deeply with our pupils, keeping them engaged from start to finish.
One student described it as "the best talk I've ever been to because Tony was real", while another said they felt empowered after the session. The feedback from pupils was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the impact of Tony's message and the importance of supporting our mental wellbeing.
A huge thank you to Tony for spending the afternoon with us. We hope every pupil left with strategies to help them navigate their thoughts, feelings and worries, and a reminder that we are always stronger together. 💚

☕🎮 Gaming Coffee Afternoon for Parents
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who joined our recent Gaming Coffee Afternoon, led by Mrs Annemarie McDonagh and supported by our Designated Safeguarding Lead, E. Heague.
The session explored how families can support children to enjoy gaming safely and positively, while building confidence in navigating the digital world. Through engaging activities and practical discussions, parents gained a greater understanding of online gaming, explored common safeguarding concerns, and shared experiences with one another.
Together, we discussed three key areas: 🎮 Setting clear rules and boundaries around gaming
🛠️ Using parental controls and safety tools effectively
💬 Keeping communication open and supportive at home
Parents found the session informative, reassuring and empowering, with many commenting on the value of sharing experiences and learning practical strategies to support their children online.
We're delighted that the afternoon sparked meaningful conversations and strengthened our partnership with families. More Coffee Mornings and Coffee Afternoons are planned throughout the year, covering a range of topics to support the wellbeing, safety and development of our pupils.
