Description:The school was officially opened by the Countess Ferrers on October 1, 1913. In attendance was Rev William MacGregor, one of Tamworth's benefactors. Primarily built for older girls, the school also had a junior 'kindergarten' department for both boys and girls aged from 5-10. The school flourished until 1959, when it was amalgamated with the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Upper Gungate. Shortly afterwards, the old Salters Lane buildings took on a new lease of life as Marmion Junior School, remaining in educational use until 1998 when the school closed and the buildings were eventually demolished to make way for a new housing development.
