16-19 TUITION FUNDING
The 16-19 tuition funding 2021 will be used to support students who do not achieve a grade 4 or above in mathematics GCSE in November 2020. Once the results have been received by school (Thursday 14th January 2021) a ten week intervention program will be implemented to support these students. The program will be an intensive program of face-to-face small group tuition that will lead up to a mock examination in April. The mock examination will allow the school to measure the impact of the tuition program and recognise any need for further support. Priority places will be awarded to the students within the group who were identified as disadvantaged during their time in year 11.
Update – January 2021
Unfortunately, this program has been placed on hold due to the Coronavirus lockdown.
The program will be reintroduced two weeks after students return to school.

As the only co-educational 11-18 Church of England school in Liverpool, St Hilda’s is unique. Our students and staff make St Hilda’s a special place to learn, supported by a brand new £15 million building. At St Hilda’s we truly believe that people matter most.
We are a community underpinned by our Christian values and principles. Positive, respectful relationships lead to the success we continue to enjoy. Our core purpose is to inspire our students to embrace learning and develop the skills necessary to be successful in a changing world. Aspirations are high. We believe there is no limit to what St Hilda’s students can achieve.
St Hilda’s students have achieved fantastic GCSE and A Level results. Over half of our students gained at least 1 A* or A grade at GCSE. We are above the national average for maths, English Language and English Literature for the top grade 9. A Level results were also a cause for celebration. We have a 99.9% pass rate and our students have been accepted into the top Russell Group universities!
I hope this website gives you a flavour of who we are and our values; educating for wisdom, hope, community, dignity and equality!
