That said it's still sad. I intend to visit before it closes - because unfortunately it will.
Thanks for your comment. Here's what the Head of St Margaret's said to the Liverpool Echo earlier this year:

He said:?We are a small school but that is part of its success in that we can cater for the needs of all the children.?
On the condition of the building he added: ?It?s a bias against old buildings. During the really hot summer a couple of years ago, three recently built schools had to close as it was too hot yet we were beautifully cool.?
Also look has been achieved at Wavertree Church of England School, another old Victorian building. Where there's a will there's a way really.
