About Merseyside Schools

Helping parents navigate local primary and secondary school admissions.

Why We Built This Tool

Finding and understanding secondary school admission criteria can be a daunting task. Every school has its own set of priority rules—ranging from sibling links and catchment areas to faith requirements and distance calculations. Often, this vital information is scattered across dozens of individual school websites or buried deep inside lengthy local authority booklets.

Merseyside Schools was created to solve this problem. We compile, clean, and organise official admission guidelines into a simple, centralized directory. With just a few clicks, parents can instantly view the exact priority criteria for their chosen schools, identify if additional paperwork (like a Supplementary Information Form) is required, and see exactly where the school is located.

Our Data Commitment

We focus strictly on localised, high-utility data for boroughs within Merseyside, starting with Sefton and expanding regionally. While we make every effort to ensure our database reflects the most up-to-date policies for the upcoming academic cycles, we always remind parents that admission criteria are legally determined by the schools and local councils. Our tool serves as a friendly guide to streamline your initial research.
