The LIPA Primary and High School in Liverpool City Centre called off classes on Monday, 9 March, after an alleged bomb threat spread across Merseyside. However, it would later be revealed by Merseyside Police that the malicious communications were nothing more than a hoax.
Authorities also clarified that they never issued an advisory telling schools to close. However, LIPA went on to inform parents not to bring their children to school anyway. The only other school that took action was Chesterfield High School in Crosby, temporarily placing the school in lockdown before resuming normal activities.
