Oldershaw Academy is a secondary school located in the Liscard area of Wallasey, England, and is a specialist Business and Enterprise College.
John Oldershaw, M.D., J.P., Mayor of Wallasey founded the school in 1920, and it opened on 11 September 1920.
Initially, having separate sections for boys and girls, with segregated teaching except for 'A' Level courses, Oldershaw became a comprehensive school in 1968, initially retaining the name of Oldershaw Grammar School although for ages 13–18.
The school then included four 'houses': Durham, York, Lancaster and Chester.
Prior to this the houses of the boys' grammar school were defined as colours: Blue, Gold, Red and Green whilst the girls' high school houses were Oak, Fir, Beech and Elm.
