About University of Liverpool Mathematics School

University of Liverpool Mathematics School sits within the Liverpool local authority as a specialist 16-19 state school, and it stands out sharply against the local secondary landscape. Among the LA’s 36 same-type schools, the top-ranked peers are The Blue Coat School, Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School, and Archbishop Blanch CofE High School. But this school is a different kind of institution entirely: a dedicated maths school with just 106 pupils on roll, compared with a capacity of 1,318, meaning it operates at a fraction of its possible size. Its headteacher is Damian Haigh, and it has no religious character. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Archbishop Blanch CofE High School, 1.6 km away, but the University of Liverpool Mathematics School’s own focus is narrow and academic, not generalist. It does not offer nursery provision and is not a boarding school, but it does have an official sixth form. For families in Liverpool looking for a highly specialised post-16 option, this school occupies a unique niche that the broader local rankings don’t fully capture.
