Wallasey High School - history
Do you have any information about Wallasey High School's history. If you have, please contact me as I am trying to build up this site.
The school was bombed during World War II.
The BBC World War II archives carries a recollection mentioning this event here:

There was a question raised in the Houses of Parliament in 1967 about one of the teacher's pay:
Wallasey High School (Head of Department Pay) 132W § 49.
Mr. Brooks asked the
Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is aware that
Mr. John Fairbrother, who was appointed head of department for chemistry
at the Wallasey High School in September, 1965, is being paid a Grade A
allowance despite the assurance given to him on appointment that subject
to a
satisfactory report from his head teacher he would be placed on the
Grade B
allowance at the end of 12 months' teaching; to what extent the prices
and
incomes policy is intended by Her Majesty's Government to apply to cases
of
this sort; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Shirley Williams
The grading of a head of department post is a matter in the discretion
of a
local education authority. In exercising this discretion at the present
time
authorities have been asked to pay regard to the incomes restraint
policy and
to satisfy themselves that any increase is justified by the level of
work or
responsibility. In this case the County Borough of Wallasey decided to
postpone the re-grading of the post until after the period of severe
restraint. I have no reason to question this decision.
