North Liverpool school wins major design award

Notre Dame Catholic College has won an award at the inaugural Education Estates awards, which recognise excellence in education built environment.

The £15 million building on Great Homer Street in Everton beat off six other shortlisted schools from across the UK to be named the ‘Project of the Year’ by Cities Minister Greg Clark MP.

Notre Dame was also shortlisted in the Innovation in Delivering Value category.

Mayor Anderson said: “I am delighted that Notre Dame has won this award and testament to all those involved in my plan to invest in the city’s schools to deliver a first class education for generations of children.”

“Our children deserve the very best facilities, and this school showcases some of the latest technology to make sure pupils receive the most from their learning.”

“Notre Dame is part of the transformation of this area of North Liverpool, which includes the recent opening of Greatie market, the start of work of Project Jennifer and our ambitious plans for Everton Park.”

Notre Dame Catholic College will educate up to 1,000 pupils and employs 120 staff and was built in just over 12 months.
