School overview

Liverpool Life Sciences UTC is a secondary school serving Liverpool, classified by the DfE as a university technical college. It has 577 pupils aged 14 to 19 on roll. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 46.3, broadly in line with the national average of 46. That marks an improvement of 5.0 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of secondary schools nationally.

46% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 62% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. After Year 11, 82% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 10.9%. There are about 17.3 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 49% 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. Liverpool Life Sciences UTC 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.
