Next to Church of the Good Shepherd (built 1901). Built for 20 infant pupils - only 40 attending regularly by 1900. Listed as National Schools (Good Shepherd) in 1911. School.Mistresses:  Miss J L HALL, Emily ILLINGWORTH (of Eaton Rd), Catherine FREESTON and Alice ROSE, who taught at the school for 31 years, until its closure in 1925.  It was linked with West Derby, and often visited by the curate there. Both Catherine FREESTON and Alice ROSE lived at the schoolhouse on Meadow Lane - Catherine as the sister of the schoolmaster at West Derby, Alice as the wife of the schoolmaster. Temporary vacancies - ‘supply cover’ was usually from West Derby. Another regular visitor was Nicholas GLAZEBROOK, a surgeon who lived in West Derby at Hayman’s Green. Liverpool Record Office holds the log book, but there are no photos. I think the children transferred to West Derby CE, which was later renamed St Mary’s West Derby.
