Schools and learning

Voluntary aided, academies and foundation schools

Admission to the following schools is determined by the governing body for each school, not the local authority. You should read the admission policy for each school you want to apply for to check if your child meets the criteria.

Liverpool City Council does not decide who gets a place at these schools. The schools will list pupils in priority order based on their individual admissions policy. The council's admissions team will then co-ordinate those offers based on the order of preference you submitted on the local authority application form.
