Echo Shield Competition. This week we must congratulate the year six boys’ football team, who are the Liverpool Echo Shield competition winners for the second time in three years. This is a very prestigious award and the whole school are very proud. Well done boys, and many thanks to Mr King and Mr Warner. School Uniform The children are looking resplendent in their Summer uniform, and are a credit to you. I am delighted to see everyone wearing sensible black shoes, which are the most suitable footwear for school in all seasons. May I remind parents that hair accessories should be in school colours and that girls should wear dresses rather than shorts suits or other alternatives. Many thanks Sacramental Programme for Year 4 pupils and their parents - Reminder The final Sacramental Programme meeting (Session 7) takes place next Tuesday 26 April 2016.
