About Xaverian College

Xaverian College is a large Roman Catholic sixth form in Manchester, and the data suggests it is a well-regarded choice among local families. The school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, but its oversubscription ratio — the number of applicants per available place — is not provided in the available data, so it is not possible to gauge demand directly from that metric. However, the college's size is notable: with 1,297 pupils in its most recent A-level cohort, it is one of the larger sixth forms in the area. This scale, combined with its city-centre location, means it attracts a broad mix of students from across Manchester and beyond. The school is Roman Catholic in character but admits students of all faiths and none, and its headteacher, Anthony Knowles, leads a team that oversees a wide range of facilities including a theatre, chapel, swimming pool, and dedicated sixth form centre.
