Since its establishment in 1974, Hugh Baird College has been a cornerstone of learning, growth, and opportunity in the community, transforming the lives of countless students.
In September 1974, Bootle College of Further Education was renamed Hugh Baird College in recognition of a prominent local mayor and college governor and in honour of his contribution to developing education in Bootle.
For 50 years, the College has been at the forefront of education in the region, equipping students with the skills, knowledge and behaviours they need to succeed in their chosen careers. Alums of the College have gone on to make significant contributions in various fields, from healthcare and engineering to the creative arts and business.
The 50th Anniversary year will be marked by a series of special events, initiatives, and activities designed to celebrate the college’s past, present, and future.
