All the history the school has survived and the changes it has gone through have made it stronger and more important. The traditions and links this history gives to each pupil gives them an identity and a part in a long-standing community. All the things current educators say they want to instill in children. Give the new pupils the chance to be part of Prescot School's traditions.
