Blue Tower Home to Mathematics

Yellow Block. Home to Science

Green Block Home to Woodwork, Metalwork, Engineering, Graphical Design, Art, Cookery, Business Studies, Media Studies and I.T.

The Older Original Section Of The School, which doubled as the exam hall & was the traditional home of both English and the performing arts lessons that have given the school its current name, part of the building was sold to create a privately owned business centre. English corridor. Home to English

The school had a wind band which in 1995 successfully toured Germany, appearing on German radio in the process.

In 2006, Sutton High School was awarded specialist Arts College status, and then became Ellesmere Port Specialist School of Performing Arts.
