Access Tools

The Council's Building Schools for the Future programme is a comprehensive overhaul of the education provision, targeted at improving educational standards within the Borough.

It is proposed to replace existing secondary schools with brand new Learning Centres on sites at:

• Ruffwood Comprehensive School, Roughwood Drive, Kirkby.
• Brookfield High School, Bracknell Avenue, Kirkby.
• St Edmund of Canterbury Comprehensive School, Lordens Road Huyton.
• Knowsley Hey Comprehensive School, Seel Road, Huyton.
• Prescot Comprehensive School, Knowsley Park Lane, Prescot
• Higherside Comprehensive School, Cumber Lane Whiston.
• Halewood Community Comprehensive School, The Avenue, Halewood.

The primary use of the Centres will be to continue to provide access to education facilities for the local community. The new development will provide an appropriate, viable, stable and sustainable learning environment.

A series of open days are planned at each of the school sites giving the local community the opportunity to view the planning proposals. 

• Ruffwood 20th Feb 10.00am – 6.30pm
• Halewood 21st Feb 10.00am – 6.30pm
• Brookfield CLC 22nd Feb 10.00am – 6.30pm
• Knowsley Hey 26th Feb 10.00am – 6.30pm
• Higherside CLC 28th Feb 10.00am – 6.30pm
• St Edmund 27th Feb 10.00am – 6.30pm
• Prescot 1st March 10.00am – 6.30pm

Over the next few weeks planning applications will be submitted for each of these sites. The Council would welcome your views on these proposals. As they are submitted you will be able to access details of these applications and provide us with your comments here. 

Application details will appear in the consultations section of the website.
