Take a look inside the former Halifax high school that was used to film Channel 4's Ackley Bridge as it's set to be demolished

We’re taking a look inside the former Halifax high school that has been used as a filming location in TV shows over the years.

St Catherine’s Catholic High School in Holmfield saw thousands of pupils through its doors over the decades before it closed in 2013.

After the school closed the school became Westbrook Academy for the CBBC show Hank Zipzer and most notably became Ackley Bridge College in 2016 for the Channel 4 series Ackley Bridge.

Planning permission has recently been approved to demolish the site.

Take a look at these pictures of the inside and outside of the school over the years.
