St Hilda's Church of England High School
Liverpool, L17 3AL · Liverpool · secondary school
10th 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 the 824 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 6.3/10 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 | 16 | 35% | 0.58 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 64.9 · 87 | 30% | 2.62 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.3 · 27 | 25% | 0.68 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.8 · 77 | 10% | 0.77 |
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, 64.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.3 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3 out of 10 among them, against 6.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Art and Textiles, Drama, Dungeons & Dragons, Choir, Band, Musical Theatre, Philosophy, and Geology clubs. Sports include basketball, netball, and football. Trips have included Poland and Germany. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1298 pupils in a capacity of 1050, exceeding capacity by 248. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage entry when it is over capacity by 248 places? What support is offered to pupils whose Progress 8 score is below the national baseline? How does the after-school club operate for students with late finishes?
