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.
Our five Open Evenings have now fully sold out. It is due to unbelievable demand this we have now added 4 extra dates to our events calendar. We will be hosting these Information Events at King's Leadership Phoenix Academy, over the road from our new site. These will be held between 1700 - 1800 on the following dates;
Even though these events after the Liverpool Council admissions deadline (October 31st), as we mentioned earlier, you are still able to apply to King's Wavertree directly with us after this date. If you would like to reserve a space for you and your child, please use our event booking page linked here. You only need to attend one of the events.
We are managing our own admissions for this year only. If you would like to apply for a school place for next academic year (25/26), you can complete our application form online by clicking this link. Alternatively you can download/print and complete a copy of the form below and return it to us by email at info@kingswavertree.com.
Parents who apply to us should also submit a common application form to their home local authority to apply for other schools. This can be done through this link for Liverpool City Council. Any offers of pupil places for King's Leadership Academy Wavertree will be conditional and dependent on a funding agreement being entered into with the Secretary of State.
Thank you for considering King’s Leadership Academy Wavertree as a choice of school for your child. We know the right choice of secondary school is vital for the well-being and academic progress of a child and here at King’s Wavertree, we take that responsibility very seriously.
