Diverse, inclusive and safe shools in Liverpool with German and drama...?

Hi, we are looking to relocate to Liverpool from overseas and wondering about schools that offer German MFL, Drama and are multicultural, while still having good behaviour and an inclusive environment and good-ish results. Asking for local insights because I have exhausted the online info and not always trusting of the priorities that OFSTED base their inspections on... Thank you!

I agree - it will be more a case of finding out which schools have places in those year groups. Many schools are full, particularly for year 7. There may be more choice for year 10 as some students move to studio schools in y9 or 10 and free up spaces.

I think most schools offer some sort of drama or performing arts, and some offer a range of languages, but I don't know of any that offer German in particular.

You'll have to find out where has places as it's in year transfer

So few schools offer German these days, it may well be hard to find one.

When are you due to relocate? Places after year 7 are In Year applications and the deadline for 2024 year 7 entry was last October, so you may not have much choice of school as it depends on there being vacancies.

We are looking at state schools and don't have an address yet so open to any area. My DD will be applying as year 7 and DS in year 10.

Private or state? Merchants has German but it’s private.

Where about in Liverpool will you be living, and what year are you applying for?
