| Administrative History | This school opened in June 1909 after the closure of the Chester Wesleyan Schools in St. John Street, most of whose pupils were transferred to Love Street School. After the 1944 Education Act, Love Street became a secondary modern school. In 1948 most of the older boys of George Street Council School transferred to Love Street after George Street Council School was closed. Love Street and Overleigh Secondary Schools were managed by the same governing body, which also managed Hoole Secondary from 1958 and Charles Kingsley Secondary from 1967.
Love Street became overcrowded, and certain classes of the girls' school were held in annexes which included George Street, the county stands at the racecourse on the Roodee, and Grosvenor St. John's School. In 1953 Love Street became a girls' school when the boys transferred to Overleigh Secondary School, and Love Street closed in 1967 when the girls were transferred to the new Charles Kingsley Secondary School at Blacon. The Love Street premises are now occupied by St. Werburgh's R.C. Junior School. |
