Sixth Form Entry FOR SEPTEMBER 2024 

Your choice of Sixth Form is an important one. There are many options and you should consider not only which subjects but also which environment and ethos will suit you best.  At Liverpool College we are convinced that students are best served by a broad Sixth Form experience. For this reason, we expand the classroom to include leadership education, competitive sports, extensive artistic and cultural opportunities, travel and a broad programme of Personal Development alongside the academic subjects studied.

INTERNAL APPLICATIONS

Our own Year 11 pupils have had an introduction assembly and attended Open Evening. They have all been emailed a short survey which they have until 30th November to complete.  We would then like them to be focused on their mocks. After the results of the mocks are issued, we will ask them to indicate their final subject choices for September and this survey will take place in March.

EXTERNAL APPLICANTS

We welcome interest from external applicants for Sixth Form places at Liverpool College. We were delighted to welcome almost 200 pupils to our Open Evening on 8th November.  If you were unable to attend that please see the information below:

IN YEAR Applications

In Year applications are when parents apply for their child to transfer from one school to another in year groups other than Reception, Year 7 and Sixth Form.  

The procedures are as follows:

Years 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 : There are currently no places available in any of these year groups. If you wish to add your child to the waiting list for the academic year (2023-2024) you will need to complete the 2023 - 2024 Waiting List Registration Form which can be downloaded here.  Each waiting list only lasts for the duration of the academic year and if the situation doesn't change you will need to complete a new form for 2024-2025. These forms will be posted here on 1st May each year. 

Years 8, 9 & 10  :  If your child is currently on roll at a Liverpool School you should ask their school to contact Liverpool College to discuss a potential transfer.  It is very rare that there will be a place available and if we are unable to offer a place you will be able to add your child to our waiting list.  If you have recently moved into the city or transport to the child's current school is no longer practical you should make an application at www.liverpoool.gov.uk/admissions  under the In Year Transfers tab.  The Local Authority will coordinate information regarding the in year transfer.
