Conor McGinn has congratulated schools in St Helens North on being shortlisted for the Educate Awards 2015. The awards celebrate the achievements and best practice of schools and colleges within the Liverpool city region, Lancashire and Cheshire.хЪхЪ
Out of hundreds of schools entered for this year’s awards six schools from St Helens North have been shortlisted, and Cowley International College has been nominated in three categories.
And on Friday, Conor visited one of the shortlisted schools, Rainford C of E Primary School to pay tribute to pupils and staff on their achievements.
Commenting Conor said:
“I’d like to congratulate all the schools nominated, but especially those in my constituency who I know do excellent work.хЪхЪ
“It was great to meet Mrs Richardson and the pupils involved in the fantastic “Dragon’s Den” project, which has seen the school shortlisted for an award to recognise and encourage learning about business and finance.
“It’s great to see our schools being recognised in this way.
“From innovation in literacy, to sports, the arts and enterprise there is a lot of inspirational teaching and learning in our community, and its right that we take the time to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of pupils, teachers, staff and parents.”
