Liverpool does not publish how far from the school the last child offered a Year 7 place lived, so there is no cut-off distance to show for North Liverpool Academy. Ask the school or the council how places were allocated this year.

School overview

North Liverpool Academy is a secondary school serving Liverpool, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 1,286 pupils aged 11 to 18 on roll. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 45.6 — broadly in line with the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 1.5 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of secondary schools nationally.

38% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 56% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. North Liverpool Academy is oversubscribed: about 5 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, with 410 first choices for 219 places. After Year 11, 80% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 7.8%. There are about 13.8 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 58% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. North Liverpool Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
