As the school year ends The Liverpool Echo and exec partners Excell Supply hosted the 5th Annual Echo Schools Awards at Liverpool John Moores University. The achievements of Merseyside’s outstanding teachers, schools, classes and projects were recognised at the awards afternoon, hosted by me and it was a real honour to be a part of it. Our local schools have proved that despite the challenges faced in the education sector, there is much to be proud of thanks to their hard work and determination.”
ECHO editor-in-chief Alastair Machray said: “It is our genuine pleasure and privilege to honour the wonderful and crucial work that teachers, pupils and support staff are carrying out across our region to make education here so strong.”
