Ormskirk School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Ormskirk in the English county of Lancashire. [1]
The school caters for roughly 1,400 pupils aged between 11-18.
History
The school was created in September 2001 by the amalgamation of two schools in Ormskirk – Cross Hall High School and Ormskirk Grammar School, an investment costing £900 million. [2]
In September 2004, the school moved in to a new building on Wigan Road, with an official opening by Prince Andrew, Duke of York the following year on 18 October 2005. [2]
Ormskirk School was previously awarded Specialist Arts College status, and up until 2011 pupils were required to take an art as a GCSE.
Previously a voluntary controlled school administered by Lancashire County Council, [3] in April 2022 Ormskirk School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Endeavour Learning Trust. [4]
