  Pensby High School is a co-educational secondary school in Pensby, on the Wirral Peninsula, Merseyside, England.
  
  The school site was originally split between a boys' school and girls' school which was federated, allowing joint staffing/teaching across the two schools whilst the pupils of each school (in years 7 to 11 but not the sixth form) remained separate. The two schools merged to form one mixed school beginning from the start of the September 2015 term.
