About the employer

Welcome to Liverpool College

Liverpool College is a unique academy, so visitors tell us. They profess that there is a “buzz”, a sense of purpose, and a distinctive ethos about the place. We agree.

The College, a state funded academy, educates approximately 1700 pupils aged 4-19 on a 28 acre campus in South Liverpool. Since 1840, our intent is to empower the young people of Liverpool and beyond to fulfil their dreams and serve their community by delivering a transformational and exceptional education. Since our transition to academy status in 2013, we are able to do this for more pupils and, crucially, without regard to the ability to pay fees.

Our school motto, "Non solum ingenii verum etiam virtutis", "Not only the intellect but also character," taken from Cicero, reflects the College's constant aim to educate the whole person.

We are A School of Character, explicitly and deliberately inspiring and teaching young people to develop our three core Lerpoolian traits: Purpose, Passion, Challenge.
