| AdminHistory | Rivington Road Council School opened in 1909 as a result of the Education Act 1902. It provided for the education of Infants and boys and girls from 7 to 12 years of age. In 1935 the Rivington Boys and Girls' Schools were designated 'Senior' schools and took pupils from the age of 11 to 14 years, while the younger 'elementary' pupils were transferred to Windlehurst, Knowsley Road and St Luke's Schools. By 1968 the two schools of boys and girls were amalgamated into one new school called Rivington Secondary (Comprehensive) School, later known as Rivington High School, which eventually closed in Jul 1991. |
