We educate children from 4 – 18 years old and welcome applications from parents both within and outside the Liverpool area.

The school is heavily oversubscribed and admission to year groups other than Reception, Year 7 and Year 12 is rare although we do hold “In Year Application” waiting lists for Years 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9 & 10.  

YEAR 7 2026 Admissions

We appreciate that with the large number of applications to the school there will be many children who are disappointed not to be allocated a place.  This year we received 1697 applications for the 177 places available. We have applied the Admission Policy which states clearly how applications are dealt with. Parents have the right to appeal against the decision to an independent appeal panel and full details on how to appeal are available from the school This email address is being protected from spambots.

The places for Year 7 2026 were allocated according to the oversubscription criteria as follows:

5.2.1 Pupils who are in Year 6 at Liverpool College = 82

5.2.2 Pupils who have an Education Health and Care Plan which names Liverpool College = 8

5.2.4(i) Looked after and previously looked after children = 6

5.2.4 (ii) Music Aptitude Places = 9

5.2.4 (iii) Siblings = 38

5.2.4 (iv) Pupils whose parents have been continuously employed by Liverpool College for 2 years or more = 2

This left 32 places to be randomly allocated as follows:

5.2.4 (v) Pupils who live within a 2 mile radius = 16 

5.2.4 (vi) Pupils who live within and outside a 2 mile radius = 16

 WAITING LIST:

We will keep a waiting list in place until the end of the next school year (July 2027). This will automatically include all children who listed us as one of their preferences. The list is not ranked and if a place arises at any time during the school year we will apply the Admission Policy and consider applications against the oversubscription criteria.
