Ellesmere Port Specialist School of Performing Arts is a secondary school located in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Until 2006, it was known as Sutton High School, until it was awarded specialist Arts College status, the change in name may be due to a grant to restore it being awarded.

==History and blocks== The school was originally split into two, a boys school and a girls school, in common with many schools at the time. The two schools were later merged, and the school buildings were split into five 'blocks':

Pink Tower Home to Languages, R.E., Geography, History & the Sixth Form Common room

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

Band

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