Designed by Windsor architects Pennington and Boyde, St. Jules primary school was opened in 1925. Thirty five years later in 1960 an addition and gymnasium were added. In operation until 2017 when the school was closed and the students merged into the new St Theresa of Calcutta School. Today the school sits vacant and abandoned, used briefly for Police training. Some people have made their way inside but it's pretty well sealed now with large cement blocks covering most entry points. I was fortunate enough to be invited to tour the school with a group of former students. Listening to some of the stories of being whooped by the nuns here made me glad I wasn't a student 60 or 70 years ago. It seemed every one of them had a story or two like this too. Given free roam for about an hour I made a mad dash to document every corner possible. The immediate future of the building is to sit vacant as it is but inevitably it will be demo'd and the property used to build housing.

Went there today, and everything was completely sealed and there's concrete blocks blocking the doors and windows have been screwed.
This place has been sealed good. Did drive by today. Windows have been screwed shut with corrugated steel & concrete blocks blocking doors & any windows
Can anyone manage to get in and take a video? I want to see what my old school looked like, if you do it can you put it on youtube and resend a link here? Thanks.
The best way to get in is through the back its caged off but you can easily squeeze through and you will find a open grate giving you an entrance into the school
