University Academy Liverpool (formerly Shorefields School) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status.[1] It is located in the Dingle area of Liverpool, England.
Formerly a foundation school administered by Liverpool City Council, Shorefields School converted to academy status on 1 June 2012 and was renamed University Academy Liverpool. The school is now sponsored by the University of Chester Academies Trust;[2] however, it continues to coordinate with Liverpool City Council for admissions.
University Academy Liverpool offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels, NVQs, City and Guilds qualifications and further BTECs.[3]
In May 2015, the decision was made by the Department for Education to change the sponsor of University Academy Liverpool, due to ongoing concerns regarding UCATs sponsorship, low outcomes at GCSE (14% at GCSE in 2014), and interim leadership and management. Consequently, King's Leadership Academy in Warrington was brokered as the Academy's new sponsor from September 2015. The Academy trust, known as Great Schools for All Children Trust, have appointed a new Principal and leadership team and anticipate having permanent appointments to all teaching posts for the new Academic year. The academy has undergone a name change and the school is now formally known as 'King's Leadership Academy Liverpool'
