Mission, Values and Ethos

 A school of character

In 1840, Liverpool College was founded on a commitment to educate the whole person. Although we made this pledge over 180 years ago, it has never been more relevant than today.

Our motto, “Non solum ingenii verum etiam virtutis”—to build ‘not only the intellect, but also the character’—speaks directly to the resilience and flexibility required for a life of learning. It reflects the balance of ability and resilience needed to flourish and finds its contemporary expression in our focus on being A School of Character.

Every young person that joins our school has the potential to excel regardless of their background or any disadvantage. As A School of Character we create the structure around which potential grows and flourishes, the foundation on which personal fulfilment and excellence is built.
