Dec 21, 2025, Liverpool World: Massive £10m [$13M] Liverpool special needs school regeneration completed to create vital additional pupil places
A multi-million pound regeneration of a Liverpool special needs school has been completed to create vital additional pupil places.
The final phase of the £10m [$13M] regeneration of Bank View School in Speke has been finalised after a two-year development. Bank View School, Speke is situated on the site of the former Parklands High School which opened in 2002 as a replacement for Speke Comprehensive before closing in 2014.
The all-age special school for students with complex learning difficulties, has other schools in Fazakerley and Croxteth but opened their latest site in Speke in 2023 before undergoing extensive regeneration works.
The latest phase of the project was funded by Liverpool Council using almost £3m of High Needs Provisional Capital funding, bringing the total cost of improvements made to the school building to almost £10m in the last two years. . . . .
Andrew Wrigg, head of school at Bank View School, said: “We are absolutely delighted with the transformation of our school. These new facilities provide our pupils with the space and resources they need to thrive academically, personally, socially, and creatively.
“The addition of new SEND places means more young people with special educational needs can access the support they deserve in an adapted and inclusive environment.
