Grammar school
The school was a girls' grammar school, the Mary Help of Christians Convent, from the mid-1960s. The neighbouring boys' grammar school was the De la Salle Grammar School, which is now the De La Salle Humanities College and again the school's male equivalent.
Other girls' catholic grammar schools in Liverpool were Convent of Mercy Girls High School, Notre Dame High School for Girls and La Sagesse Girls High School. Of the nine grammar schools that survived until the mid-1980s in Liverpool, most were catholic due to their voluntary-aided status.
Comprehensive
The school became a catholic comprehensive in 1983. The Salesian Sisters of St John Bosco are also known as the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. It was known as the St John Bosco High School until September 2004 when it became an Arts College. In March 2013 the college became a National Teaching School.
New build
In September 2014 a new state of the art school was opened with a new grey and pink school uniform for all students.
