Willmott Dixon has been appointed by the Department for Education (DfE), on behalf of The Mosslands School, to deliver a £61m programme of works creating a new, state-of-the-art secondary school in Wallasey.
Date
Designed by Ellis Williams Architects, the 19-acre redevelopment will accommodate 1,500 pupils, providing modern and flexible learning environments. The new three-storey building will support high-quality education and enhanced opportunities in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. Once the new facility is complete, the existing school buildings will be demolished.
The redevelopment will also include improved external facilities, featuring two sports halls, a replacement all-weather sports pitch, a multi-use games area, a new car park and cycle parking, enhancing the school environment and opportunities for sport and extracurricular activities for the community.
Supporting the DfE’s and Academy’s sustainability ambitions, the new campus will be Net Zero Carbon in Operation (NZCIO), reflecting the school’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Low-carbon technologies will include photovoltaic panels, air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps.
The project is expected to complete in 2028 and represents a significant long-term investment in the education of current and future pupils at The Mosslands School and the wider Wallasey community.
