Exclusive look around the new £25m King David education campus in Childwall
IT IS the new £25m Liverpool education campus complete with its own synagogue – but with no blackboard or chalk in sight.
The Daily Post can bring you an exclusive look into the new “once in a lifetime” Childwall home of King David high, primary and kindergarten schools which now sit side by side on one campus.
And making it one of the biggest, if not largest, Jewish campuses in Europe the base also includes a new community centre and King David Campus synagogue.

The campus replaces existing school buildings which had reached the end of their useful life and includes a new high school – one of the last Liverpool secondaries to be funded through Labour’s Building Schools for the Future scheme.
Although pupils will have no guarantee of automatic entry, the idea of the campus is that children could have continuous education from the age of two to 18.
Less than half of pupils on roll are Jewish and the multi-cultural campus is also designed to boost the whole Childwall community ranging from adult education courses at the community centre to using the school’s cutting edge facilities.
The new facilities include:
A new kindergarten including outside study areas that can be easily accessed from indoor classrooms. Like other sections of the campus they include the latest ICT, whiteboards and a multi-sensory room which uses lights, sounds and smells to bring lessons alive.
