World Book Day fever hits Hillside High School!
Reading is Power at Hillside every single day
But today, reading was so much fun at Hillside!
Shout out to all staff who made our pupils laugh out loud and have fun today!
Very proud to be a finalist. We are so passionate about supporting the next generation of teachers & seeing the difference they make. Even more special -our new teachers are our ex pupils. We have a special community.@EducateAwards@Bootle_Together@seftoncouncil@RainbowTSHub
We also launched our new reading curriculum. All KS3 have dedicated reading lessons focused on becoming skilled readers through reciprocal reading. This has been a trust wide project that we are certain will support our pupils in success across the curriculum. @wdtrust
Following assemblies on our Reading is Power curriculum strand last week, this week we launch our revised Register and Read. With the support of @Right2Succeed Literacy project we have new reading books for all pupils for our reading curriculum.
What a wonderful return to learning for all of our pupils today.
Today we launched our Blue Zone, an opportunity every lesson to promote resilience & independence to support our pupils in being the best learners.
Looking forward to another successful day of learning tomorrow.
Lovely to welcome all staff back to work today & what a busy, productive and inspiring day we have had preparing for our pupils. Delighted to welcome our keynote @NickBarwick to share his remarkable journey. A thoroughly moving story motivating us all to make a real difference.

@MrThorntonTeach@MeolsCopHS@johntomsett We wrote our Workload Charter a few years back after reading that book! Love that book! I always use the phrase “how are we putting staff first with this?”
Quick screenshot of yours to update ours! I like the sub headings on this. Thanks for sharing and hope you are well x
Trust Science Conference today, we revisited substantive & disciplinary knowledge, debated the quality of curriculum documentation, explored & shared best practice around AI to reduce workload & ended with our Science Trust Awards for 2025!
Support, challenge and celebration!
