  • 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.

  • A History of International Beatleweek (PDF)
    The History of International Beatleweek International Beatleweek celebrates the most famous band in the world in the city where it was born – attracting thousands of Fab Four fans and dozens of bands to Liverpool each year. The history of Beatleweek goes back to 1977 when Liverpool’s first Beatles Convention was held at Mr Pickwick’s club in Fraser Street, off London Road. The two-day event, staged in October, was organised by legendary Cavern Club DJ Bob Wooler and Allan Williams, entrepreneur and The Beatles’ early manager, and it included live music, guest speakers and special screenings. In 1981, Liz and Jim Hughes – the pioneering couple behind Liverpool’s pioneering Beatles attraction, Cavern Mecca – took up the baton and arranged the First Annual Mersey Beatle Extravaganza at the Adelphi Hotel. It was a one-day event on Saturday, August 29 and the special guests were Beatles authors Philip Norman, Brian Southall and Tony Tyler. In 1984 the Mersey Beatle event moved to St George’s Hall where guests included former Cavern Club owner Ray McFall, Beatles’ press officer Tony Barrow, John Lennon’s uncle Charles Lennon and ‘Father’ Tom McKenzie. Cavern Mecca closed in 1984, and after the city council stepped in for a year to keep the event running, in 1986 Cavern City Tours was asked to take over the Mersey Beatle Convention. It has organised the annual event ever since. International bands started to make an appearance in the late 1980s, with two of the earliest groups to make the journey to Liverpool being Girl from the USA and the USSR’s Beatle Club.
