Bank View is an all age special school for students with complex learning difficulties. The Fazakerley site opened September 2015. The accommodation and learning resources here are excellent and maintained to a very high standard.
It has purpose-built science, food technology, design technology, vocational, computing, music/performing arts and art areas plus a sixth form facility for 35 students. The sports facilities include a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) and gym. Students have their own indoor and outdoor recreational areas including common rooms and outdoor play/relaxation areas.
In September 2017 we expanded our provision to include primary aged students. We now have 5 primary classes – two on our Fazakerley site and three at Croxteth Primary School. We opened a site in Speke in September 2023. Currently this site is for learners based in year 7 and 8 and 2 Base classes. Buildings are wheelchair accessible.
Fazakerley and Speke buildings have a lift for disabled access to the upper floors. They have comprehensive toileting and showering facilities for disabled people.
