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]
