Prescot has had a school of some high standing over so many years and this deserves to be recognised via commemorative plaques, not just for the sake of the school but for the town also.

This is worthy of commemoration.

I consider that the erection of commemorative plaques at the various sites once occupied by the school is an appropriate way in which to remember the tremendous heritage and history of a school which provided so many of us with a solid foundation upon which our adult life was built. The town of Prescot and Knowsley Borough Council should be equally as proud of their connection to PGS as its ex pupils.
