The school population was around 500 with 20 staff.  The Headteacher Mr Kenneth Williams, though proud of his school was never satisfied in its perceived third place in a town of two other grammar schools.  Eventually in 1959 the council conferred parity and the only Technical Grammar School in the country was established.  The new headmaster J D Petit joined the school in 1961 and it was he who steered the school to its prominent position.  Re –organising the pastoral structure of the school into is unique vertical structure of three houses.  Mr Petit prepared for the coming comprehensive system. 

Wallasey chose a Middle School system and the school changed its name for the fourth time to Mosslands Senior comprehensive.  The school continued to build on its reputation under the leadership of headmaster Bill Mitchell as Wallasey once again re-organised into 11 – 18 schools.

The now Mosslands School occupied two sites and the population of 1250 boys, a mixed sixth form and a staff of 100+.

Headteacher Gordon Fair took the school to one site and a massive rebuild took place re –equipping the school with magnificent science laboratories, art studios, music suites, computer rooms and a library.  Extensions provided rooms for humanities and improvements to Modern Languages, Maths and English with further rebuilds due soon.

Mosslands school still retains much of the character of its distinguished past as it now plans for Technology college status.  Its reputation has been hard earned and success in gaining university places has set new standards in the area.  In a changing environment the school has constantly adapted yet is determined to maintain its prominent position and to serve pupils at all levels.
