School to sell off inventory

THREE grand pianos and several paintings by artists favoured by the Royal Family are just a few of the items that are set to be auctioned off by St Margaret's School next week.

The independent city school, which closed its doors for the last time in June, will put the entire contents of its Newington site under the hammer starting next Tuesday.

Among the 520 lots listed in the catalogue are "fine art and antique furniture" and a 16-seat minibus.
