DFE data places the College in the second quintile for location, but fourth quintile (deprived area) for its intake 20% of our Year 7 cohort are selected on the basis of musical aptitude, and this number includes the Choristers of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, making the College (along with its partner primary school) the Cathedral Choir School for Liverpool. The choristers lead the choral liturgies of the Cathedral nearly every day in term time, and on major religious feast outside the school term.

Music is a jewel in the crown of the College, with orchestras, choirs and ensembles meeting a demanding and ambitious performance schedule. Sport and outward bound are also important extra-curricular endeavours, with a busy weekend sports programme involving hundreds of pupils.
