History
The current school site was originally St John's High School. After a merger with Rock Ferry Covent in the early 1980s it became Plessington High School and occupied two sites (the second being the former Rock Ferry Covent site in Woodland Road). In 2010, the school won the prestigious TES "Secondary School of the Year" award.
