History

All Saints CCfL opened on 11 January 2010, following the closure of the Bewley Drive site in December 2009. The Bewley Drive site closed because of Knowsley's Building schools for the future scheme. All Saints followed the other 10 Knowsley schools in creating 7 new "centres for learning".
