Allerton’s new school has facilities that both include and reflect 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.

The school has specialist facilities to support inclusion of pupils on the autism spectrum, working in partnership with the North West SILC to develop resource provision for children with speech and language difficulties and working in partnership with the NHS.
