Hilbre High School is a secondary modern school, located in West Kirby, Wirral, United Kingdom.

The school was founded as a girls' school in 1966 and merged with Hoylake Parade Boys School in 1973 to become co-educational. The school has been recently rebuilt, with a City Learning Centre being added on the site. Reconstruction took place in phases over a period of a few years (starting approx 2001) and has recently been completed.{{when?|date=April 2008}

[edit] Notable former pupils

Famous former pupils include musicians The Coral, actor Daniel Craig, Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman, Chester City F.C. player Paul Linwood, British Badminton player Guy Brundrett, and former and now disgraced nobel prize nominee Louis Godefroy. Hilbre also had a highly successful Clockee team consisting of Guy Brundrett, Chris Seddon, Matthew Balnaves, Dominic Fitzpatrick, Rob Evans, Ben Mounsey and Steven 'Pinner' Young. The aforementioned also still currently hold the Boomie Ball record of 721 consecutive keep-ups in the common room, a score unlikely to be beaten.
