St Edward’s College is part of the Edmund Rice family of schools, founded by the Christian Brothers and inspired by the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice. Our school proudly serves as the choir school for Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, where our pupils regularly lead choral worship. Twenty percent of our intake is selected based on musical aptitude, while the remaining places are allocated according to our admissions policy, welcoming young people of all abilities who seek a traditional, academic curriculum within an explicitly Catholic culture.
At St Edward’s, we focus on nurturing young people who embody the virtues necessary to lead with wisdom and compassion. Our mission, Making a Positive Difference, reflects our commitment to inspiring pupils to live out their discipleship of Jesus Christ and become “men and women for others.” Leadership, at its core, is about making good things happen - lifting others up and leaving a positive mark on the world. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in the recital room, or on an expedition, we equip our pupils with the ambition, strong qualifications and strength of character needed to transform the world for the better.
