Maghull's New School Built to Highest Standards
to Maximise Our Children's Potential
Deyes High School was founded in 1939 and
was one of four high schools in Maghull, but
behind its beau}ful historic façade,
structurally it was not 昀椀t for purpose and has
been undergoing a total state-of-the-art
transforma}ve rebuild between 2022–24.
As part of a £2 billion fund Deyes High
School was selected as one of the 昀椀rst 昀椀昀琀y
schools in the UK to receive investment from
the Department for Educa}on9s School
Rebuilding Programme.
In April, Kier handed over the completed
10,000m² school to Lydiate Learning Trust
and Deyes High School. The modern building
spans three 昀氀oors and boasts a host of
state-of-the-art facili}es, including high-tech
classrooms, specialist science laboratories, a
learning resource centre, an art studio and a
mul}-use games area.
The new building is net zero carbon in
opera}on, with photovoltaic panels for solar
power, hybrid natural vent units and three
air source heat pumps. The school grounds
will include large playing 昀椀elds and sports
pitches, a wildlife garden, a nature trail, and
a habitat area to support learning and
promote wellbeing for its 1,400 students.
The 昀椀nal phase of the project involves the
demoli}on of the old school buildings which
started in April. All work, including the
construc}on of new sports facili}es, is
expected to be completed by Spring 2025.
engage, empower and enable our students.
The new building is a fantas}c 昀氀agship
school for our community, and we look
forward to welcoming our students to the
start of summer term.=
