The City of Liverpool College is a 16–19 provider, so there is no Year 11 cohort: this page covers where its students went after 16–18 study and what they achieved.
Among the 1,535 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 17% went to university (Liverpool 43%, England 37%), and 3% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.
A level grades average D+, well below the England average of B-; 0% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Sociology, Psychology and Business Studies.
Destinations of the 2023 Year 11 leavers, measured the following year: the share in a sustained place for at least two terms. Compared with all state-funded schools in Liverpool and England.
The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
