    ART NORTH WEST July 2019 Open call for artists based in north west England Application deadline: 10 September, 12:00 Tate Liverpool Royal Albert Dock Liverpool L3 4BB United Kingdom Website <http://www.tate.org.uk> Twitter <https://www.twitter.com/tateliverpool> Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/tateliverpool> Instagram<http://www.instagram.com/tateliverpool> Tate Liverpool is launching a new programme for artists living and working in the north west of England (Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside), offering the opportunity for one selected artist or artist collective to have their work represented at the internationally renowned art museum in spring 2021.

  • Head's Weekly Newsletter
    Head’s Weekly Newsletter Issue 27, 5 April 2019 Mrs Ania Hildrey, Headteacher, [email protected] Dear Students, Families, Colleagues and Friends, Welcome to the last issue of this term’s Head’s Weekly Newsletter. As we end this term, we begin Easter Holidays. Easter, whilst not celebrated as ostentatiously as Christmas, is in fact, the most important festival in Christianity. According to the Bible, Jesus' death was a sacrifice for the sins of others, but his resurrection represents something even more powerful: the potential for rebirth, salvation, and renewal of faith. It is that sense of new beginning that drives the symbolic representation of Easter as celebrated in schools and popular, often non-religious culture: Easter eggs, baby chicks and bunnies symbolise new life, new way forward, new hope for the brighter future. As the world around us continues to present us with challenges, it is good to hold onto such symbols – religious or simply linked to nature and the cycle of life – to normalise change as an integral part of life. Our school has demonstrated just that this week: a bit of reflection, a touch of sadness at the changes associated with the time passing and people leaving our school, made better by and a healthy dose of appreciation for the journey we are on, and the optimism for the future. I thank you all for your hard work this week and this whole term – it has been a short but intensive one! The next one will come in no time at all and it will prove to be brilliant, no doubt.

  • Guide to Liverpool Waterfront
    Guide to Liverpool Waterfront “Three Graces” – Together the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building make up the Mersey’s ‘Three Graces’ and are at the architectural centre of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront. A massive engineering project has recently extended the canal in front of these three buildings, adding beautifully landscaped seating areas and viewpoints along the canal and the river. Museum of Liverpool – this brand new museum, opened in 2011 is a magnificent addition to Liverpool’s waterfront. Celebrating the origins and heritage of the city, it features collections from National Museums Liverpool that have never been seen before. Otterspool Promenade – The construction of Otterspool Promenade (1950) provided both a new amenity for Liverpool and an open space dividend from the disposal of Mersey Tunnel spoil and household waste; a project repeated three decades later to reclaim the future International Garden Festival site. A favourite with kite fliers this often overlooked wide open space is perfect for views of the river and picnics Antony Gormley’s “Another Place” - These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach, about 10 minutes out of Liverpool. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation. Mersey Ferry - There's no better way to experience Liverpool and Merseyside than from the deck of the world famous Mersey Ferry listening to the commentary.
