We are delighted to welcome our next Year 7 cohort to King’s Leadership Academy Wavertree. As an established and growing academy, our systems, routines and expectations are firmly embedded, creating a calm, purposeful and highly structured environment where pupils thrive. We are uncompromising in our standards and ambitious for every child, ensuring that from day one pupils understand what excellence looks like - both academically and in character. We are excited to support this next cohort as they begin their journey with us and become part of a community built on high expectations, strong relationships and a belief that every child can succeed. New pupils and parents will find this webpage useful to help with the transition to secondary school over the coming months.
We know that seeing a school in action is an important step for parents.
For this reason, we are offering the opportunity to visit the school for a short guided tour during the school day. During the tour you will be able to see lessons taking place, experience the atmosphere of the school, and explore our facilities.
A member of the Senior Leadership Team will also be available to answer any questions you may have about the curriculum, school culture, and the opportunities available to students.
You can book a tour at a convenient time by clicking this link. We hope this visit will help give you a clear sense of what life at King's is like and support you on the journey to September.
There are 4 key dates that prospective parents should have in their diaries:
As part of our transition programme, we will be offering a series of King’s Academy sessions during Easter, May half-term as well as summer breaks. These structured days are designed to help pupils build confidence, meet key staff, make new friendships and become familiar with our routines and expectations before September. Many secondary schools across Liverpool offer similar programmes because early familiarity significantly reduces anxiety and supports a smooth start to Year 7. Further details will be shared directly with families in the coming weeks through this webpage. Some sessions will require advance booking or an expression of interest due to limited places.

You’re Not Alone
Many families find the transition to secondary school emotional - but with the right information and support, it can become a positive and exciting step. Liverpool’s schools, health teams and parenting services are here to help you and your child feel ready, confident and supported.
