Dec 18, 2025, Liverpool Express: £10m [$13M] regeneration of SEND school complete
The latest and final phase of the £10m [$13M] regeneration of Bank View School in Speke is now complete – creating additional school places for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
The latest phase of the project was funded by Liverpool City Council using almost £3m [$4M] of High Needs Provisional Capital funding, bringing the total cost of improvements made to the school building to almost £10m since 2023. . . .
The council says if it hadn’t delivered the additional school places at Bank View, they would need to spend approximately £2.4m [$3.2M] annually to fund their education in other settings. . . .
Bank View, an 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. . . .
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. Seeing our students already making the most of these improvements is incredibly rewarding, and we are grateful to Liverpool City Council, Robertson Construction North West and Atkinsréalis for their commitment to our school community.”
