About St Helens College

St Helens College is a large state secondary and sixth form in St Helens, with a school capacity of 1,240 places. It serves pupils from age 14 through to 99, making it an unusual institution that combines a traditional school with adult education. The school is mixed, non-religious, and does not have boarding. While the data does not include a current pupil count or free school meal percentage, the fact that the school operates across such a broad age range suggests it draws from a wide local demographic. The local authority has 11 secondary schools in total, with only one rated Outstanding — Carmel College, 2.3 km away. This context places St Helens College in a competitive local market, though the data does not provide specific admissions oversubscription figures to indicate how heavily it is sought after by families.
