Founded in 2007, The Observatory School is nestled in the village of Bidston at the foot of the historic Bidston Hill. The school is set in several acres of leafy grounds and we are bound by forests and greenbelt land.
Everything that our children need is on-site; from state of the art classrooms, to a Forest School, sports pitches and highly specialist social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) and Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) Nurture Bases.
We aim to develop happy, confident and well-rounded individuals that aspire to be more than they thought they could be. We have a proven track record of turning around some of the most vulnerable groups of learners in the area.
The progress that the children make both in school and through our extraordinary experiences outside the classroom is exceptional. These experiences are bespoke and unique to our school
