Notre Dame Catholic College – the first school to benefit from Mayor Joe Anderson's £169 million education investment programme has been officially opened by Cities Minister Greg Clark, according to the Liverpool Express.

The £15 million building on Great Homer Street in Everton completes the first part of the Mayor’s Investment Plan for Schools, devised as a rescue package following the scrapping of Wave Six of Liverpool’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) project.

The funding – a combination of city council and Government money – was negotiated as part of Liverpool’s City Deal, and will see at least 12 schools receive investment.

Mayor Joe Anderson said: "This is a great moment for the pupils and team at Notre Dame Catholic College and I am absolutely delighted to be leading the official launch with the Minister and my colleagues from Liverpool City Council."
