Quick Facts Address, Coordinates ...

The school is named after Henry Bolingbroke, who became King Henry IV of England.[2] The school is sponsored by the Ormiston Academies Trust.

Brookvale Comprehensive School merged with Norton Priory School and was renamed Halton High School.[3] 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.[4]

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.[5][6]
