North Liverpool Academy is an academy secondary school in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It was the result of the merging of Anfield Community Comprehensive School and Breckfield Community Comprehensive School onto one campus in September 2006. The campus originally belonged to Breckfield community comprehensive school. The school specialises in business and enterprise as well as computing and mathematics. A new £40 million site was constructed on nearby Heyworth Street, which is now fully operational. The sixth form received a grade 1 in its most recent Ofsted report. The sixth form is a collaborative department with Notre Dame Catholic College and Alsop High School. This means students have a wider range of courses to choose from. The sixth form offers a vast curriculum, ranging from vocational courses to A levels. The school is believed to be one of the most improved schools in the North-west of England. The school is ranked 25th in the whole of the UK. North Liverpool Academy is a sponsor of Liverpool Life Sciences UTC, a university technical college (UTC) which opened in September 2013. The UTC specialises in life sciences and healthcare, and is also sponsored by the University of Liverpool. It also shares the same building as The Studio School, Liverpool which is owned by the same trust.

Everton Lock-Up
Everton Lock-Up

Everton Lock-Up, sometimes referenced by one of its nicknames such as Prince Rupert's Tower or Prince Rupert's Castle is a village lock-up located on Everton Brow in Everton, Liverpool. The 18th-century structure is one of two Georgian lock-ups that still survive in Liverpool; the other is in Wavertree. It is famous for being the centre-piece of the crest of Everton F.C.The Grade II-listed building, which was opened in 1787, was originally an overnight holding place where local drunks and criminals were taken by parish constables. Prisoners would then be brought before local Justices of the Peace for trial. Punishments would usually be similar to community service such as clearing ditches, unblocking drains or removing rubbish. The Friends of Everton Park have included the lock-up in their Everton Park Heritage Trail with information boards displayed near the building. It is sometimes called Prince Rupert's Tower, though it was in fact erected 143 years after Prince Rupert's Royalist Army camped in the area during the English Civil War Siege of Liverpool in 1644.It is likely the name arose because Everton Brow was historically where preparations were made to attack the Parliamentarian garrison holding Liverpool Castle. Prince Rupert, as commander of the Royalist cavalry of Charles I is said to have looked down on the fortress and dismissed it with the words: "It is a crow’s nest that any party of schoolboys could take!" It eventually fell after a week of heavy fighting and the loss of 1,500 of his men.
