Congratulations to Headteacher

"A HEADTEACHER has been honoured by Ofsted. Michael Beale, who has been at the helm of Holland Moor Primary in Skelmersdale for over 25 years was congratulated by Her Majesty's chief inspector of education, children's services and skills, Christine Gilbert, during a celebratory event recognising outstanding schools in England."

Congratulations to Headteacher

Steven Hanlon, Councillor in Moorside, wrote on the web on 20 May 2009: "I visited this school when I was a Councillor in Moorside and it is an amazing place of learning. Mr Beale, the headmaster, has built a school that is equally concerned with the locality and nearby residents as it is with the children."

A well-wisher has donated a second walnut tree to the school in recognition to its achievements. Soon there will be a walnut forest in Holland Moore. Is this a nutcase?
