LIPA School: Bomb threat closes institution already set to shut
Families faced disruption when LIPA School unexpectedly shut. Headteacher Claire McKendrick announced the school's closure on Monday, March 9, due to a serious threat. Merseyside Police believe the threat is a hoax; however, the school is due to close permanently this summer following a significant financial deficit, fewer student numbers, and an inadequate Ofsted report.
