Endeavour Learning Trust is celebrating after receiving confirmation of multiple shortlistings at this year’s Educate Awards, which recognise excellence across schools in the North West.
Churchtown Primary School in Southport has been shortlisted for ‘Leadership Team of the Year’ and ‘Most Inspirational Primary School’.
Churchtown Primary won the Sefton School Of The Year Award at the 2025 Grand Pride Of Sefton Awards earlier this year, and recently welcomed the Prince and Princess of Wales William and Catherine to visit their new playground and library.
The new facilities were created over the school summer holidays and inspired by former pupils Alice Dasilva Aguiar and Bebe King through the success of a fundraising campaign which raised £400,000.
Ormskirk School has been shortlisted for ‘Outstanding Arts in a Secondary School’ while The trust itself has been shortlisted for the ‘Most Inspirational Trust’ award.

These nominations highlight the dedication, creativity and innovation demonstrated across Endeavour’s schools.
From inspiring arts provision at Ormskirk, to outstanding leadership in the face of adversity at Churchtown Primary, Endeavour Learning Trust has shown a commitment to ensuring every child thrives.
This recognition is a testament to the hard work of staff, pupils, and the wider school communities.
David Clayton, CEO of Endeavour Learning Trust, said:
“We are absolutely thrilled to see the hard work of our schools and teams recognised at such a high-profile level.
“These shortlistings reflect the commitment, passion, and creativity that our staff bring to education every day, ensuring children across our trust are given the very best opportunities to flourish.”
The winners of the Educate Awards will be announced on 14th November 2025, celebrating the achievements of schools, teachers, and leaders who go above and beyond to make a difference to the lives of children and young people.
