The Studio School Liverpool
About The Studio School Liverpool
The Studio School Liverpool is a small state secondary for 14- to 19-year-olds, and the first thing parents notice is how sought-after places are. With 282 pupils on roll against a capacity of 300, the school is very close to full, though the data doesn't include a formal oversubscription ratio or a parent-view recommendation percentage. What is clear from the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 is that the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its first graded inspection in 2015. The ungraded inspection confirmed that the school continues to provide a good standard of education, with leadership and management, sixth-form provision, and overall effectiveness all judged Good. For parents considering a later secondary start, this is a school that deliberately focuses on the 14-19 phase, offering a more adult, specialised environment than a traditional 11-16 school.
