Liverpool College converted to Academy Status in September 2013.  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.

On Wednesday 16^th April 2025 the local authority notified parents which school their child had been allocated.  We appreciate that due to the large number of applications there will be many families who will be disappointed. We have provided the information below to explain how places were allocated. 

We received 561 applications for the 90 Reception places. Places were allocated as follows in accordance with our admission policy:

This left 52 places to be allocated randomly. At the time of random allocation there were 523 children on the list of applicants.

We have applied the Admission Policy which states clearly how applications are dealt with. Please see the Admission Information Booklet here for a reminder of how places are allocated.
