A teacher at Co-op Academy Oldershaw in Wallasey has died after suffering a medical emergency at the school in Wirral.
Emergency services were called to the school last Friday following reports of a medical episode involving a member of staff. The incident took place shortly after the school's morning assembly, with the teacher dying a short time later. The teacher is understood to have been Mr Wright, according to the Liverpool Echo.
School Statement on the Incident
A statement shared by the school on social media at the time read: "Dear parents and carers, please be advised we currently have an on-site medical episode with a member of staff that has needed support from emergency services."
A spokesperson for Co-op Academy said: "A member of staff at Co-op Academy Oldershaw sadly died last Friday. The school community is deeply saddened by this loss, and our thoughts are with the family, friends, colleagues and pupils at this difficult time."
School Closure and Context
The spokesperson added: "Out of respect for the family's privacy, we will not be issuing any further information." An update was later issued to say the school would be closing early.
Co-op Academies Trust officially took over The Oldershaw School in September 2026, rebranding it as Co-op Academy Oldershaw.
