Kirkby High School is a Knowsley based co-educational secondary school educating pupils aged 11–16 years of age in the Kirkby area of Merseyside, England. Previously known as 'Brookfield High School', in 2008 the school was merged with Ruffwood School to form 'Kirkby Sports College Centre for Learning' on the site of Brookfield. The school was completely rebuilt under the Building Schools for the Future programme. In September 2013 the school converted to academy status and was renamed Kirkby High School. Kirkby High School is in the borough of Knowsley which had been singled out by the government for the poor achievement of their students on the assessment targets the government preferred. Kirkby has served their students, who were from a largely disadvantaged, white working class community by entering them for the more vocationally targeted BTEC qualification. In 2013, the government 'reformed' the target. Only academic subjects examined in an end-of-course exam would count. In 2011, Kirkby High School achieved a respectable 41% (5 A to Cs) that wouldn't happen in 2015: 24% achieved the new government benchmark of five GCSEs with English and maths at A* to C.
