Admissions - Year 7

Year 7 2026 Admissions

We were delighted to welcome almost 2000 people at our Open Evening on Wednesday 17th September and hope that families enjoyed their tours of the school. We are not able to put on any more open evenings or accommodate individual visits but are always happy to answer any questions.  

 We have put together key information on Admissions 2025 HERE

Applications for Year 7 2026 admission should be made through Liverpool City Council or your own local authority and can be made from 1st September 2025.

MUSIC APTITUDE TEST

10% of places will be allocated to pupils with a particular aptitude for Music. Those who wish to be considered for a music aptitude place will be required to take a test designed to test Music aptitude. The 10% of places will be allocated in test score order. These candidates are selected on how they performed in the Music aptitude tests. There will be two music aptitude tests and candidates who achieve the score required in the first test will be invited to take a second test on a later date.

If you wish to register your child for the Music Aptitude Test you can do so from 1st September 2025 by clicking the link HERE 

The closing date for applications for the music test will be 26 th September 2025. No previous knowledge of Music is expected or required because the test is looking for aptitude to learn rather than ability or knowledge. No preparation is necessary and there are no practice papers available. In order to ensure equal opportunities for all music applicants, we will not take into consideration any teacher references or music certificates so please do not send them in.
