Schools in Liverpool

The Three Graces and the sandstone warehouses of the Royal Albert Dock anchor Liverpool's UNESCO-listed waterfront along the eastern shore of the Mersey Estuary, defining one of England's most recognisable city frontages. Around 509,000 people live here today.

Liverpool Lime Street connects to Manchester, Birmingham, and London Euston, while the Merseyrail electrified network fans out across the city and beneath the river to the Wirral Peninsula. Established as a borough in Lancashire in 1207, Liverpool grew to global importance through the Atlantic trade and cotton imports; by 1880, when it gained city status, it was home to the world's first inter-city railway. Anfield, Childwall, and Huyton give a broad cross-section of the city's residential geography, from inner north to the eastern fringe. Lydiate and Scarisbrick, in the Sefton and West Lancashire fringes to the north, are among the most sought-after addresses for families targeting state school catchments across the city region.
