History The Mosslands School began on 18 July 1908 as the Higher Elementary School. The school building, located at Dalmorton Road, New Brighton, was officially opened by The Right Hon. Augustine Birrell KC (Secretary of State for Ireland and formerly Education). The school opened on 11 August 1908 with 7 staff and 153 boys with Mr William Charles Simeon Jones as Principal. The first school inspection took place in 1910 and the recommendation was made for larger premises to accommodate the growth of the local population. In 1920 the school moved to Coronation Avenue, Wallasey, and was renamed Wallasey Boys Central School. It was one of the few Technical Schools established after the Education Act 1944. In 1956 a purpose-built school was built at Mosslands Drive, Wallasey Village. The building, plate glass in construction, was opened by glass mogul Sir Harry Pilkington. The school was renamed the Secondary Technical School for Boys. By 1959 the school population was around 500 with 20 members of staff. The school was established as the only Technical Grammar School in the country. In 1961 J D Petit became headmaster and the house system was introduced. The school took on the Middle School system and changed its name for the fourth time to Mosslands Senior Comprehensive. New headmaster William Mitchell later reorganised the school to 11 to 18 and it became known as The Mosslands School. The school occupied two sites (Mosslands Drive and a lower school annexe for years 7 and 8) with a population of 1250 boys, a mixed sixth form and over 100 members of staff. Headmaster Mr Gordon Fair took the school to a single site and a large rebuild took place, equipping the school with science laboratories, art studios, music suites, computer rooms, sports hall, and a library. In 2004 The Mosslands School became a specialist Technology College. House system Pupils at Mosslands are sorted into one of three
