I don't write about my work as a teacher usually, but I just felt that this was worth sharing.
Yesterday we had a non uniform day and asked for donations for the Haiti Earthquake Appeal.

We raised a staggering £648.65!

Our primary school is deep in the heart of inner city Liverpool, and a lot of our children don't have much themselves. Yet, time and time again, whenever we do a fundraising day, we are overwhelmed by the generosity from families whose own lives are not easy.
Liverpool gets such a bad press, and we are often saddened by unfair press reports .... I just want to set the record straight ... the children at our school are amazing!
