A “new” primary school in Tuebrook could be created as Liverpool Council puts forward plans to combine two existing sites.
In partnership with the Catholic Archdiocese, the local authority is seeking feedback on proposals to amalgamate St Cecilia’s Catholic Infant School and St Cecilia’s Catholic Junior School. If the plans are approved, the new provision would come into effect from January 1, 2024.
The proposals have been put forward following the retirement of Elizabeth van de Waal as headteacher of the infant school after 14 years in post. Philippa Agate, headteacher at the junior school has been leading both sites since March and would become full-time head of the new school under the new proposals.
