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!

We will be moving summer 2025 for September 25 start in Yr 7 and Yr 10. We were planning to apply to schools without an address this year for the Yr 7 place.

It's looking less and less doable though... sadly they make it very hard for anyone relocating with secondary aged kids to get into a good enough school. 😕

@Bongabees

I would send a message to the Admissions people to ask for clarification as to what your situation will be and about any closing dates you will need to pay heed to.

@Bongabees

I'm interested to see that you are looking for a school offering German.

Do you speak German at home? I'm assuming that the children have a German-speaking father or mother.

Am also interested in your moving to Liverpool. I've visited the city on occasion and love it there. Are you looking at Liverpool for employment reasons or because you have a family connection?

Hi,
We are from the UK but lived overseas and been in international schools for the last 16 years. We are looking to relocate to the UK for jobs and developing our business jn the UK. Kids have studied German here and want to continue. Looking at multiple cities where there will be a good amount of diversity and opportunities.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions! Appreciate this community!

A few Wirral schools offer German - worth checking out as it's a nice place to live
