The Studio School Liverpool
Liverpool, L1 0BS · Liverpool · secondary school
14th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.0/10 against 801 of them, against 2.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 38.3 · 36 | 30% | 1.07 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.82 · 5 | 25% | 0.14 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 39.4 · 18 | 10% | 0.18 |
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, 38.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 39.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.82 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than similar peers nationally. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Board Game, Chess, Cinema, Drama, Dungeons and Dragons, Lego, MANGA, and Music Production clubs. Sports include Boxing at No Limits Boxing Gym and Combined Cadet Force (CCF). Arts and music options cover Arts & Crafts, Life Model Drawing, and Podcasting. Trips include visits to Oxbridge and Cambridge Open Days.
Getting in. The school has 282 pupils in a capacity of 300, leaving 18 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their Attainment 8 and the national median? What specific steps are taken to improve Progress 8 scores for students starting from similar backgrounds? How do the Oxbridge and Cambridge trips support broader academic aspirations beyond the core curriculum?
