History

The College was founded as an educational charity in 1840 and has been on the present 26 acre (105,000 m²) site since 1928. It is open to boys and girls from the ages of 3 to 18. At present there are 361 boys and 243 girls enrolled in the upper (secondary) school, and 350 children enrolled in the preparatory school. The annual fees are £8,430 (2007)
The original patron of what was then Liverpool Collegiate Institution was Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby, who laid the foundation stone of the previous campus designed by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, in Everton on October 22 1840. It is notable that the school has moved to three campuses in 165 years, which is unusual for a public school. In 1993, it merged with Huyton College making it a co-educational day school.
At present the school is situated in Mossley Hill on North Mossley Hill Road and backing onto Queen's Drive. Facilities on site include a fully equipped gymnasium and relaxation centre as well as AstroTurf courts and a Combined Cadet Force centre.
The school was one of the 13 founding members of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.
