Save St Margaret's Primary School, Toxteth

[taffy]

There are plans to close this excellent Church of England School due to falling numbers. The Vicar, the Rev. Robert Gallagher, is conducting a silent vigil outside Liverpool Town Hall in protest about this proposed closure. These are taking place on each Wednesday in December from 12 noon to 3pm

The St Margaret's Primary School is in Upper Hampton Street off Prince's Rd, Toxteth. If you feel strongly about this, protest to your local City Councillor, the Diocese of Liverpool or your MP.

The school is attached to the Church of St Margaret of Antioch, 3 Prince's Rd,
Toxteth and once formed part of a significant Christian complex of Church, school, institute, orphanage and young adults hostel. All paid for by public subscription in the latter half of the 19th C and early 20th C. Here's the Church's web site

Ironically on a day when a Christian couple from Anfield were found not guilty in court in a religious case brought against them by a recent British Moslem convert, a Church of England Vicar is protesting about the closure of St Margaret's Primary school which has a majority of Muslim pupils. It seems the Muslim parents greatly value the school. Here's Rev. Gallagher's vigil on "You Tube"
