Pen Portraits
Mike Liddell
Chair of Governors
I have worked exclusively in co-education, comprehensive secondary schools in the Wirral for nearly 40 years before retiring in 2020 in my final post as Head teacher at Oldershaw.
The main focus of my career has been to provide ‘hands on’ pastoral support to all in my care. I worked closely with families to strive for the best outcomes for all children regardless of their background.
All of my schools focussed on preparing pupils for life after school, ensuring they had the personal and academic tools, plus the aspiration and confidence needed to succeed.
I hope that my time in education has impacted equality, equity and inclusion upon the school communities I have been so fortunate to serve
I am delighted to support the inspiring work of Impact North West Schools.

My leadership has consistently driven improvements in outcomes for children and young people, ensuring that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has access to exceptional education tailored to their needs.In establishing Impact North West Schools,my vision has been brought to life, creating an independent specialist provision that delivers bespoke and high-quality support. This innovative provision reflects my unwavering passion for equity in education, empowering children with the tools and confidence to unlock their full potential.
