King David Primary and King David High Schools will be replaced with new buildings on a combined site, as well as a new nursery, and a replacement for the Harold House youth and community centre.
 
The scheme is part of Liverpool's £400m Building Schools for the Future project - which is replacing or refurbishing every secondary school in the city.

Councillor Keith Turner, executive member for education, said:
"The new King David High and Primary Schools will provide a top quality education for entire generations of schoolchildren and make sure they get the best possible education in a brilliant learning environment.

"It will also create a 21st century facility which can be used by the whole of the local community.

Work will begin at the start of 2009 and is expected to be completed by the autumn of 2010.
