Liverpool: headteacher awarded OBE
Sister Brigid Halligan, FCJ Headmistress of Bellerive FCJ College in Liverpool, was awarded an OBE for services to education in the Queen's Honour's List this year.
Sister Brigid. who has enjoyed a 38-year teaching career, joined Bellerive Grammar School in 1979 as an assistant maths teacher.
She said: "Personally I'm very humbled to have been nominated. I believe the greatest gift you can give young people is a sense of worth and dignity. A long education career makes you realise how little you know and how you cannot achieve anything without the support of others."
