About the School
St Hilda's is unique. St Hilda’s is a family. We are the only co-educational Church of England school in Liverpool in key stages 3 and 4. We welcome students and their families from a Christian background, from other faiths, and those who have no faith. Each individual is precious. Our reputation in the community is excellent, and we continuously seek opportunities to improve who we are and what we do. We live by our values and are educating for 'wisdom, hope, community, dignity, equality, and diversity'. Students helped to choose our 6th value of diversity. We changed to a house system to promote a sense of belonging in each of our students and members of staff. Our smaller House families come together to form the larger St Hilda’s family. We chose our 6 Houses very carefully. Each one of these inspirational people embodies our values and has helped to shape Liverpool. We believe in student voice, in student leadership, and in high expectations. Our behaviour systems focus on a Chance to Change, and we work hard to support our students in making the right decisions, ready to take their place in our society. In 2025, our SIAMS inspection found that St Hilda’s Church of England High School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling students and adults to flourish. The report highlighted, "St Hilda’s biblically rooted Christian vision is the cornerstone and lifeblood of this school family. It is strongly proclaimed and confidently embraced, sustaining and nourishing the school’s work and mission. Along with its compelling Christian values, the vision drives this exceptional school. Diversity and difference are embraced, giving dignity and allowing this community to live well together. Students are highly respectful and supportive, enabling them to appreciate and support one another to be who they are." We are unashamedly a Christian school. Our most recent Ofsted report graded us as Good in 2021.
