It was created from the amalgamation of Seafield Convent Grammar and St Bede's Secondary Modern in 1977, and was previously known as Sacred Heart Catholic High School and Sacred Heart Catholic College.

The school was founded from the amalgamation of Seafield Convent Grammar and St Bede's Secondary Modern in 1977, despite the differences of opinions from parents and governors on the merger proposals .

The Crosby Catholic Parents for Comprehensive Education supported the plans, noting it was "exactly what they had proposed" several years prior in 1973, although others considered the proposals as "hasty", particularly as the provision for single-sex education was being removed.

[2] Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Sefton Council,[3] in July 2022 Sacred Heart Catholic College converted to academy status.

The school is now sponsored by the Pope Francis Multi Academy Trust.
