Liverpool, L1 0BS · Liverpool · secondary school
9th of 29 secondary schools in Liverpool we can score, 32 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.8/10 against 555 of them, against 4.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 46.3 · 57 | 30% | 1.70 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.34 · 25 | 25% | 0.61 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.3 · 53 | 10% | 0.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 46.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.34 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Board Game, Chess, Cinema, Drama, Dungeons and Dragons, Lego, MANGA, and Nintendo Switch Clubs. Sports include Boxing at No Limits Boxing Gym and Combined Cadet Force (CCF). Arts and music options cover Arts & Crafts, Music Production, Podcasting, and Life Model Drawing. Trips include visits to Oxbridge and Cambridge Open Days.
Getting in. The school has 577 pupils in a capacity of 800, leaving 223 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in raising their Progress 8 scores above the national baseline? What specific support is available for students aiming for Oxbridge or Cambridge? How do the smaller class sizes resulting from spare places affect individual teacher attention?
