Ormiston Bolingbroke Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status in Runcorn, Cheshire.[1]
The school is named after Henry Bolingbroke, who became King Henry IV of England.[2] The school is sponsored by the Ormiston Academies Trust.
There was a fire on Tuesday 11 October 1983, in the early morning, at the Brookvale school.[3] 100 firemen, 15 fire engines, from as far as Crewe and Nantwich, attended. It took three and a half hours to put out the fire. It destroyed 20 classrooms including science labs, and cost £2m.[4]
Brookvale Comprehensive School merged with Norton Priory School and was renamed Halton High School.[5] Halton was converted to academy status in September 2010 and was renamed Ormiston Bolingbroke Academy. Though it is no longer a community school directly administered by Halton Borough Council, Ormiston Bolingbroke Academy continues to coordinate with Halton Borough Council for admissions.[6]
In 2017, the school caused controversy when it banned a student, who had been undergoing cancer treatment, from attending prom due to her lack of school attendance.[7]
