A crumbling and “unsightly” pair of historic buildings could be knocked down at a north Liverpool school that was saved from closure.
After months of uncertainty, it was confirmed in February last year that then-named De La Salle School in Croxteth would remain open. The school had been issued with a Termination Warning Notice from the Department for Education (DfE) in 2021 after two consecutive inadequate Ofsted inspections.
After partnering with the Dixons Academy Trust, which operates a number of schools across the city already, the site was kept open for the 342 11-18 year old boys on the roll. Now, a planning application has been lodged with Liverpool Council to demolish the Carr Lane East site’s former chapel and swimming pool hall.
