Two primary schools are celebrating the news they will not close after a months-long campaign to stay open.
Wirral Council reversed a previous proposal put forward in February 2022 to merge two schools in Bidston with two others in the area.
St Paul’s Catholic Primary School would have been merged with St Peter’s Catholic Primary School in Noctorum and Manor Primary School with Hillside Primary. Both schools are based in Beechwood, one of the poorest places in Wirral.
