Liverpool: Liverpool City Centre
built 230 days ago
Liverpool has a train system called Merseyrail, the sections in the city centre are mostly underground. The lines terminate at Southport, Ormskirk, Kirkby, Hunts Cross, Ellesmere Port and Chester. The inner loop from Edge Hill station to Kirkdale, no longer carries passenger services and Liverpool Overhead Railway has long since disappeared. Liverpool once possessed a very integrated transport system. Only now is a Tram system, merseytram, being planned to replace the one destroyed in the 1950s.

The school is situated in its own grounds on Church Road in the Wavertree district of Liverpool about three miles from the City Centre. The buildings are owned by the School Foundation and boast some fine architectural features including the Clock Tower and elegant Chapel, which is still in daily use. The school has recently benefited from a £9 million facelift, which has seen the construction of new buildings as well as refurbishment of the older provision. This new development was officially opened by Lord Derby in 2004. Additionally, the school has been designated as a Specialist School in Science and Mathematics. [read more]
