How this St Helens primary school celebrated reaching 50 years old

Pupils and staff at Sherdley Primary School, Mill Lane, donned 70s clothes, listened to music from the decade and even ate food that would have appeared on the menu at schools fifty years ago.

Artwork to mark the landmark

To mark the occasion, pupils from pre school through to year 6 created artwork with CulturEd and Alistair Harwood, who worked at the school several years ago, was commissioned to create another masterpiece.

The school has reached half a century

He referenced the school’s heritage including Dream and mining together with the ethos and a portrait of headteacher Tony McCoy.
