It is on the market with property consultants Vickery Holman with a guide price of £525,000.

Eerie photos on the listing show equations written in chalk up in the empty classrooms.

Just how old they are is revealed in one scrawling which reads: "14th February 1996."

Underneath, someone has humorously written: "E = MC Hammer", referencing the American rapper who shot to fame in the 90s.

Peeling paint also hangs from the walls while the floors appear covered in dust.

Elsewhere, the doors have been pulled off neglected toilet stalls.

The Grade II Listed late Victorian building was finished in 1896.

It was the main hub for students for more than 75 years before being used for just maths and geography following the construction of the new Pool School across the road in the 1970s.

After further buildings were added in 2003, the old part of the school closed for good.

Its new owners will have conditional planning consent for it to be turned into homes.

There is enough space for four three- and four-bedroom dwellings.
