THE COLLEGE TODAY
St Edward’s College is a Catholic school, located in the heart of Liverpool, educating 11-18 year olds. With its strong track record of academic success, pastoral care, and enrichment of every student, the school has become highly popular and is consistently oversubscribed, receiving over 1,000 applications for just 176 Year 7 places. The College has built close ties with the local community, including a partnership with its co-located primary school, forming the Cathedral Choir School for the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. The College offers a broad range of extracurricular activities, from music and drama to a wide variety of sports, and academic clubs such as mathematics and science, where students have excelled in national competitions. These activities are supported by excellent sports facilities, including an indoor swimming pool. The thriving Sixth Form, with over 300 students, is one of the largest in the city and is further enhanced by the Honours Programme, which targets Oxbridge and Russell Group universities.
In September 2024, the College appointed a new Headteacher, who has a compelling vision to make St Edward's College the preeminent Catholic school in the city and beyond. With their leadership, the College is set to enter an exciting new chapter, continuing to build on its successes and offering even greater opportunities for its students.
