She always thought of him that is someone going to hit him? Or is he going to be in trouble, are they waiting for him after school. But one wise man said, “Dawn always comes after the dark.”
One day she heard about Everton Free School. This brought that single ray of light in Liam. He is lifelong fan of Everton FC and now he is going to study by their help. An opportunity worth grabbing.

So is this school normal? Yes everything is same as a normal mainstream school except the fees. Everton School charges £14,500 ($15,502.68) that is simply three times of the normal school fees. So don’t misunderstand that ‘Free’ in name with ‘FREE’.
“We are engaging them. That should be beneficial for Everybody.” words from Executive Principal Richard Cronin.
But yes not only the fees make it different from other the guests who visits the school also makes it special. It is one of positive thing here that you can meet footballers from Everton Club and England’s National Football Team.
Phil Jagielka, England and Everton Defender, said, “A few of them want to give you a little bit of banter – there are a couple of Liverpool fans in here and all sorts, so they refuse to write the word blue down for instance.
“I’ve been here for a long time now and I’ve met some fantastic characters, some great people.
“If you give these kids a chance to open up and talk, more often than not, you know you’ve had a great day. These are going to be young men and women in a couple of years and if we can give them a decent foothold then that’s what’s important.”
