T. P. Riley Comprehensive School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

T. P. Riley Comprehensive School was a secondary school located in Bloxwich, West Midlands, England.

It was situated on Lichfield Road, several hundred yards east of the town centre, during the 1950s, to serve the expanding town of Bloxwich.

The most famous pupil at T.P Riley was Noddy Holder, who went on to achieve fame as the lead singer of Slade.

Demolition work at T.P Riley began towards the end of 2001, and lessons were taught in Portakabin buildings. The new school, known as Walsall Academy, was opened in September 2003.
