Ladypool Junior & Infant School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ladypool Primary School is a primary school on Stratford Road in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, England.
It was built as Stratford Road Primary in 1885 by architects Martin & Chamberlain as a Birmingham board school.
The school was extensively damaged in the Birmingham Tornado on July 28, 2005 and lost its distinctive Martin & Chamberlain tower. The school proposed to build a replicate of the tower. On October 26, 2006, Birmingham City Council Planning Department decided that the planning application should be referred to the Department for Communities and Local Government.
It stands next to St Agatha's Church and is a Grade II* listed building.
