Opened in September 2008, Allerton High's new building includes and reflects the community that the school serves, such as the first ever multi-faith centre to be delivered through BSF.

The school, which has a specialism in Business and Enterprise, features clusters of faculty-based teaching rooms known as 'pods', each with large break-out spaces where students can work alone or in groups. This allows there to be fewer classrooms than a traditional faculty layout, and encourages independent learning. Bendy walls can be taken down to provide larger teaching spaces. The pods are all connected through a 'street' that runs through the school to allow community access to all the facilities including the amphitheatre.

Here, students and staff talk about their first impressions of the new school and how they feel it will make a difference to their education.
