"Bringing Liverpool Alive"

As Liverpool celebrates its 800th birthday this year, pupils in Year 7 have been learning about Liverpool and how it has developed over the past 800 years. The school’s Geography Department has arranged for a drama company called The Story of Liverpool, to work with year 7 pupils to develop this further. This will take place on Wednesday 21st March.
The performance will be filmed by HANDSTAND Film Company and will be used, along with other work from schools within Liverpool to create a DVD to celebrate Liverpool’s 800th birthday entitled the Coming of aAge Project “Bringing Liverpool Alive”.
