History
The school was produced in 1982 by the merger of Ormonde Drive High School and Old Hall High School on the Ormonde Drive site. By 1988, the Old Hall site was empty. Old Hall High School, opened as Maghull Grammar School, in 1954 with new buildings opening in 1958, it was situated on Old Hall Road. The school was renamed Old Hall High School, in 1972 when it became a comprehensive. Ormonde Drive High School was opened by Lancashire County Council as Ormonde Drive County Secondary School in 1954, as a secondary modern school, it also became comprehensive in 1972.
The school's sixth form academy was originally Woodend Primary School but was later changed to the sixth form after the merger of the two old schools. As of 2011 the school converted to an academy status.
