Razed Radclyffe will rise as a super school

Watch this space — site of the former school
FOR decades it has echoed with the footsteps of thousands of pupils.
But the former Radclyffe Lower School site on Broadway, Chadderton, now stands forlorn after its buildings were razed.
Chadderton Grammar School was built there in 1930, the first co-educational grammar commissioned by Lancashire County Council which was the education authority for the area at the time. It then turned into girls’ grammar before becoming part of Radclyffe School, which has now been replaced by a £28 million building in Hunt Lane.
Pupils are set to return as the borough’s new £30 million Catholic high school will open there in 2012.
