Learning through the creative and performing arts
LIPA High School opened in September 2021, when we welcomed our first cohort of Year 7 pupils. Many of them were continuing their LIPA journey from our primary school, but a small number came from other primary schools across Liverpool. We expect that the same will apply in subsequent years of entry.
Read a welcome letter from our founder, Mark Featherstone-Witty, which outlines LIPA High School’s offer for Year 7 entry.

If you are unsuccessful in gaining a place in Year 7 at LIPA Primary and High School you do have the right to appeal. Please contact the school if you wish to make an appeal and we will guide you through this process. Please do not send your appeals through to Liverpool City Council, appeals should be made directly to our school.
