St Mark’s Catholic Primary School in Halewood has unveiled a mural to celebrate the success of former pupils Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Jack Hunter-Spivey.

Bothathletes attended the school where they posed in front of the muralwith current students.

Johnson-Thompson,30, has won seven gold medals while representing Great Britain in the heptathlon. The most recent of which came earlier this year in the World Championships in Budapest.

Meanwhile, Hunter-Spivey, 25, has won Paralympic bronze and Commonwealth gold medals in Paralympic Table Tennis.

The mural was designed by artist Paul Curtis, who has designed murals that can be seen across the city - from Jurgen Klopp and Anne Williams, to The Beatles and the Liver Birds.

Headteacher at St Mark’s, Susan Bradshaw, said: “We were delighted that the inspirational Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Jack Hunter-Spivey visited our school.

“A massive thank you to them both for sharing their stories with our pupils and staff.

“A big thank you to the very talented Paul Curtis for his amazing artwork on our school wall.  Pupil’s and our whole school community will be reminded, every day that they CAN achieve their potential just like Katarina and Jack.”
