Work on a new £20.3 million high school in Wigan is now complete.

The new Deanery High School and Sixth Form College was delivered by Morgan Sindall under the North West batch of the Education Funding Agency’s (EFA) Priority School Building Programme (PSBP).

The 1,500-place facility on Frog Lane features new dining facilities, an activity studio and a library. In addition, the Morgan Sindall team also refurbished the school’s existing sports hall and its classrooms.


The Mayor of Wigan, Councillor Bill Clarke, joined the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, for the official opening ceremony on Wednesday, 04 October.

Barry Roberts, area director at Morgan Sindall, said: "Deanery High School and Sixth Form College has been purpose-built to provide a modern teaching environment for students and staff. We are thrilled to have delivered this project, which we are sure will serve the local community as a place for first class education for years to come.

"The Priority Schools Building Programme has enabled Morgan Sindall to deliver a number of first-rate education facilities for schools that were most in need of urgent repair across our region."
