About Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School

Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School is a mainstream secondary school for boys aged 11-18. This state voluntary-aided school is situated in West Derby, Liverpool. It is an oversubscribed, larger than average school with an excellent reputation in the sporting arena and increasingly in the arts.

High standards of behaviour are expected by the staff, who help create a close-knit community. The school was awarded specialist sports college status in 2001 and teachers use excellence in this sphere to inspire teamwork and academic progression in the classroom.

In September 2012, Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School moved into newly built premises, which has given its pupils access to innovative science, art, ICT, media, music, catering, technology and PE facilities, plus a new sixth-form centre.
