Last week, a representative group of staff attended the Educate Awards at Liverpool Cathedral. Our school had been nominated for two awards: Leadership Team of the Year and Most Inspirational Primary School of the Year. The awards ceremony is the largest celebration of education in the North, so we were exceptionally pleased to be shortlisted. To then go on the evening to be runner-up in the Leadership category and winner of Most Inspirational Primary School of the Year was a huge honour and a massive achievement. This award was closely linked to our response to the tragedy of Summer 2024 and the way we have supported our whole school community through it. I am writing to thank you for your enormous contribution as parents and guardians—working alongside us during a difficult time and supporting the fundraising for the playground. Thanks to you, the children now have a fabulous space to play and a beautiful legacy for Alice and Bebe. I would have loved to take the whole staff group to receive this award, as it was a recognition of all their hard work, resilience, time, compassion, and true sense of working together for a purpose. A parent and Trustee who was one of our nominations wrote the following: "Churchtown has become a national symbol of what is possible in education: not only because of what it overcame, but because of what it continues to become—a place of light, legacy, and learning. I long ago lost count of the small, everyday acts of quiet heroism I have come across this year at Churchtown. As both a parent and a Trustee, I can think of no more deserving recipient of this award. It is not only the most inspirational school I know—it is the most human, the most hopeful." Thank you once again for your support, dedication, and belief in our school. Have a lovely weekend, Mrs Payne!
