Primary Teacher

Liverpool College is a mixed ability 4-19 Academy of some 1660 pupils. The College is situated on a leafy 28-acre campus located in the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool adjacent to Sefton Park.

Structure and Leadership

The College is organised into two phases and five schools:

• The Primary Phase consists of the Pre-Prep (Reception-Year 2) and Preparatory School (Year 3-Year 6) and each are housed in their own buildings.

• The Secondary Phase consists of the Senior School (Middle School (Years 7-9) and Upper School (Years 10-11)) and the Sixth Form (Years 12-13) which share classroom facilities. The Sixth Form also has its own centre.

The leadership of the College is led by the Principal who is supported by two Vice Principals who are responsible for our educational provision in the primary phase and secondary phase respectively, and by the School Business Manager who will be responsible for the financial management of the College and the operation of its core business and support services.

The wider senior leadership team (College Development Group) will include the Head of Boarding and six Assistant Principals. Two Assistant Principals have College-wide responsibilities (AP: Safeguarding & Wellbeing and AP: Inclusion), three Assistant Principals have responsibilities in the secondary phase (AP: Head of Sixth Form. AP: LCA Curriculum & Learning and AP: LC+ Curriculum & Learning) and in the primary phase there is an Assistant Principal: Deputy Head of Primary.

Our History

The College was founded in 1840 and was a founding member of the Headmaster’s Conference and was a fee-paying school until September 2013, when it became an all-through academy for pupils aged 4 to 19 years old. The College also offers state boarding provision. It is a Church of England foundation that has always been open to pupils and families of all faiths and none. It does not apply any faith criteria in its pupil admissions or staff recruitment policy.

In the last few years, it has become one of the most over-subscribed schools in the North of England.

Liverpool College was judged Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted at its last inspection in November 2019.

Purpose and Intent

Our purpose is to transform the lives of young people, regardless of background or ability, by relentlessly challenging and consistently inspiring them to reach their maximum academic and personal potential within an inclusive and aspirational learning community dedicated to the highest standards.

Our intent is to be a School of Character, which through a unique curriculum and extraordinary teaching, systematically and effectively inspires and guides all pupils to maximise their academic and personal potential and aptitude regardless of their background or any disadvantage.

Mission and Ethos

Directed by our motto, not only the intellect also character, we strive to live out today the vision of our foundation over 180 years ago. We develop in all our pupils, regardless of their backgrounds or abilities, the traits of Purpose, Passion and Challenge so that they can embark on their life’s journey with knowledge, confidence, direction, and strong moral purpose.

We do this by relentlessly pursuing together the highest standards, and by developing and delivering a unique, varied, challenging and holistic curriculum inside and outside the classroom to all our pupils.

We work together to ensure that we are an aspirational and inclusive community for all our pupils.

Above all, Liverpool College is a happy, successful and outward-looking school with a clear mission and an undiluted belief in the importance of educating the whole person.
