Warwick Bolam Secondary School

Merged with Bootle Grammar in 1973 to form Warwick Bolam High School. Operated as a split site school, eventually amalgamating with Countess of Derby School in Browns Lane in 1983 to form Bootle High School. The school closed in 2009. Thanks to Richard REEVE, a teacher at the school, for this information. Wondered about the name. In 1911 there was a pupil teacher called Warwick BOLAM living with his family in Durham. Another Warwick Hall BOLAM, born 1913, died in Peterborough in 1995. A further Warwich Hall BOLAM, born 1922, emigrated the same year to Australia and returned aged 8. There are lots of Warwick BOLAMs. Could be a link? Does anyone know?
