Schools in Liverpool

About schools in Liverpool

Most of the 293 schools listed in Liverpool are primary schools. Its 42 secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. The area also has two all-through schools, which teach every age from the early years to school-leaving age on one site.

Every school on this page is inspected by Ofsted. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.
