Commenting on the shortlist, Kim O'Brien, founder of the Educate Awards, says:-
"We're delighted to finally reveal the shortlisted schools ahead of the Educate
Awards ceremony next month. With more entries than ever before, this year our
judges found it so challenging to put together the final shortlists for each
category. The dedication, hard work and impact that Sefton teachers, support
staff and school communities have is truly humbling and it was fantastic to see
so many schools from across Sefton enter and put their projects forward. The
entries into the 2016 awards have been amazing, so thank you to each and every
school that entered and best of luck to all those shortlisted."
