Range High School is located in Formby, Sefton, England and is one of two secondary comprehensive schools in the area (the other being Formby High School). The high school caters for roughly 1300 students aged 11-18 (including roughly 250 in the Sixth form). The headteacher is Mrs Maureen Miller.

The local primary schools St. Lukes and Woodlands Primary School both act as feeder schools to Range High School.

Specialist School Status

Range High School received Specialist school status in Mathematics and Computing in 2005 following large fundraising activities involving parents, local businesses and The Ogden Trust. Upon gaining specialist status, a grant was provided to the school by the Government allowing investment in new technology and to change the building work, making what was formally a Geography department into a state-of-the-art IT suite with Interactive whiteboards now in operation in many of the classrooms within the school.
