ST Edward's School celebrated the end of the academic year with a lively 80s-themed festival.
The oldest Catholic primary school in Runcorn, St Edward's, saw its pupils, staff, and families come together for an eventful day.
The current school building, rebuilt in 1981, inspired the 80s theme.
The festival, named EDFEST, was a break for the hardworking pupils and staff, offering a chance for the school community to come together after a challenging month of ongoing school consultations.
Pupils arrived in vibrant 80s fancy dress, turning the school into a scene from the past.
Throughout the day, they enjoyed themed crafts, a movie experience, and various refreshments.
A highlight of the day was the lively catwalk, where children showed off their talents.
They then sang and danced to classic 80s hits like Eye of the Tiger.
The day was a celebration of both the decade and the school's family-like atmosphere, where every child is encouraged to shine.
The school is now calling on former pupils, parents, and families to share their positive memories of St Edward's.
The stories could help show the lasting impact St Edward's has had on generations of local families.
Anyone wishing to support the campaign to save the school can email stedwardsparents@stedwardscatholicprimary.co.uk.
Every memory and message of support will help highlight why St Edward's remains a crucial part of the Runcorn community.
The call for memories comes as St Edward's is one of eight primary schools in Runcorn that could be closed, merged, or turned into academies due to falling birth rates.
The World reported Halton Council – backed by the Local Government Association – had researched the impact of declining birth rates on current and predicted future pupil numbers.
A range of options is now being considered, with a consultation running until September.
