St Margaret Marys Secondary Modern

In 1934
The Infants opened two years later in 1936, and the Secondary Modern in 1959. The Secondary Modern closed in the reorganisation of September 1983. The Boys went to Cardinal Heenan and the girls to Broughton Hall; the Head (Mr J A GIBBONS) became Head of Campion. The Primary School transferred Knowsley Local Authority in the early 1990s, when there were boundary changes in Local Government.

My bro and his friend went to

Records suggest the building dated from 1710 - it was St Elizabeth’s before becoming Cardinal Godfrey. My uncle - Bill Naylor - used to teach here, but I can’t remember very much about it at all. Head in the 1960s was Brother (Pop) MORAN, a diminutive but terrifying Scot. Alumni Ken ROBERTS and Mike CARDEN testify to his powerful personality and his cane swinging. They think he was at least 70 at that time! When my brother attended in the 1970s and early 1980s, Brother CAREY was Head. Closed in 1983 when it amalgamated with other schools to form Nugent High School, Brother CAREY became head of Nugent. opened 1925
