Thank you for your unwavering support. You are all an important part of our community. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
Warmest Regards,

Pupil Shout Out: We are incredibly proud of this wonderful young lady, who truly embodies kindness in everything she does. She sold her own toys to raise funds for Birkenhead Dog Kennels, helping to buy Christmas treats for the dogs. We are so delighted that you chose to join us here at Hillside – your generosity and spirit inspire us all. ❤️

A massive well done to this incredible group of Year 4 and 5 students, who were chosen to represent our school choir and spread Christmas cheer at the Croft Retail Park this morning! Mrs. Clayton and Mrs. Coombes were absolutely blown away by their fantastic behaviour and festive spirit. You truly shone as wonderful ambassadors for our academy – well done, everyone! 🎶🎉
In a Hillside first, we’ve hosted our very own Christmas Tree Festival! Each class was given a tree to decorate, and the creativity and festive spirit were truly on display. We had so much fun, and the results were absolutely stunning! Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas filled with joy and sparkle! 🎄
