Ormskirk School is a secondary comprehensive in West Lancashire, England, created in September 2001 by the amalgamation of two schools in Ormskirk – Cross Hall High School and Ormskirk Grammar School, an investment costing £16 million.^[1] The school caters for roughly 1,400 pupils aged between 11-18 and includes its own sixth form for post-16 studies. The school has been awarded Specialist Arts College status.

Opening[]

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.^[1]

Syllabus[]

Up until 2011, pupils were required to take an art as a GCSE. This restriction was removed for the then-Year 9s.
