About Dixons Croxteth Academy

Dixons Croxteth Academy is a mixed, non-denominational secondary school in the Liverpool local authority, serving 405 pupils aged 11 to 18. It is one of 36 state secondary schools in the area, but its performance places it near the bottom of that list: ranked 26th in Liverpool on Progress 8, with a score of -0.94. That puts it in the bottom 50% of schools nationally, and well behind the top local performers such as The Blue Coat School (Progress 8 of 0.77), Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School (0.66), and Archbishop Blanch CofE High School (0.63). The school is heavily oversubscribed in its local context — 102 applications for 98 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — but only 33 first-preference offers were made from 34 first-preference applications, suggesting many families are not ranking it first. Over half of its pupils (53.3%) are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, and the school has capacity for 600 but currently holds 405, meaning it is running well below its physical capacity.
