Study with Us

As a Trust we are continuing to work with Liverpool Council and the Department for Education to ensure we can open in September 2025. We have already had good news in terms of planning permissions being granted and purchases of neighbouring sites being exchanged. King’s Wavertree is now accepting applications for Year 7 pupils for the 2025/26 academic year. As a new secondary free school that is awaiting signing of our funding agreement, we have the unique opportunity to manage our own admissions process during our first year of operation. The information below will help guide you through this process.
