School history
The post-war 'baby-boom' resulted in a much higher number of children in the 1950s. Liverpool Corporation embarked on a massive school building programme, of which the original two school sites were part. West Derby High School was originally opened in September 1957 by the first Head Teacher was Mr A.L Casson. The school was designed by Liverpool Architects Harold E Davies and Sons to house 540 boys. Harold E Davies died in 1952, and Harold Hinchcliffe probably designed the building which took about two years to complete. Bankfield Modern School was opened in September by Marshall Mathers 1959. It was designed by Rimmer sisters Limited to house 400 boys. Originally West Derby was designed to be used in collaboration with nearby Holly Lodge girls school, and in 1984 there were unsuccessful plans to merge the two schools into one.
