Origin
Maghull Grammar School on Old Hall Road opened in 1954 and new buildings opened in 1958. In April 1961, 11 year old Keith Jones was killed after a rugby tackle at the school. It became then Old Hall High School, and is now a housing estate on the opposite side of the A59, covered by the roads Broxholme Way, Aisthorpe Grove, Glentworth Close and Hornby Chase.
Also in Maghull was the Deyes High School on Deyes Lane and Maricourt RC High School on Hall Lane.
Lancashire County Council built Ormonde Drive County Secondary School in 1954, which was a secondary modern school. Both former schools became comprehensive in 1972.
The school was produced in 1982 by the merger of Ormonde Drive High School and Old Hall High School on the Ormonde Drive site.[1] By 1988, the Old Hall site was empty.
The old Woodend primary school has now been turned into the schools sixth form block.
