Deyes High School in Maghull was selected as one of the first fifty schools in the UK to receive investment from the Department for Education's School Rebuilding Programme.
Kier has handed over the completed 10,000m² school to Lydiate Learning Trust and Deyes High School. The modern building spans three floors and boasts a host of state-of-the-art facilities, including high-tech classrooms, specialist science laboratories, a learning resource centre, an art studio and a multi-use games area.

The new building is net zero carbon in operation, with photovoltaic panels for solar power, hybrid natural vent units and three air source heat pumps. The school grounds will include large playing fields and sports pitches, a wildlife garden, a nature trail, and a habitat area to support learning and promote wellbeing for its 1,400 students.
Construction of the new school commenced in August 2022 and has been completed on time and within budget. The next phase of the project involves the demolition of the old school buildings, scheduled to begin later this month.
