Liverpool College

Overview

Liverpool College is an independent HMC school for pupils ages 3-19. Founded in 1840 by among others William Gladstone, we are a Church of England foundation which has, throughout its history, welcomed pupils of all faiths, beliefs, nationalities and backgrounds.

The boarding programme at Liverpool College is focused on preparing pupils for university academically. Pupils come form a variety of counties and the UK to study for GCSEs and A levels . The boarding programme is small with a maximum of 30 boarders and is fully integrated into the life of the school and the community. We offer a distinctive A Level Foundation course and A Level studies in 24 subjects.

The Upper School is divided into school Houses: Brook's, Butler's, Howson's and Selwyn's . Each House has members from each year group in the school. The House provides pastoral care, opportunities for leadership, house competitions and a locker and social space during the school day. Every boarder is a member of a school House and thus receives support and guidance from their House Tutor and their Head of House.

The school boasts over 58 clubs and activities and offers a full A Level programme to its pupils in the Sixth Form. Our website provides information and contact details www.liverpoolcollege.org.uk
