Distance depends on the band here

North Liverpool Academy admits by banding: applicants are placed into bands and each band is filled separately, so there is no single last-offer distance. Each band has its own, and which one applies depends on your child's assessment — so one number could not answer this for every child.

How the bands work: Places will be allocated on the basis of fair banding in line with the Department for Education. All applicants take a cognitive ability test (online assessment) used to place them into one of five ability bands (Band 1-5, each 20% / 46 pupils, total 230 pupils). Within each band places are allocated according to the ordered criteria listed. Applicants who do not sit the test are considered after those who did, using the same ordered criteria.

Your local authority’s admissions booklet publishes the cut-off for each band. The full ranked criteria are on the Admissions tab.

How places are decided at North Liverpool Academy

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked After Children / Previously Looked After — (i) Children in public care ‘Looked After Children’ (ii) Children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order).
2Children with EHCP — Children with EHCP in place.
3Siblings — Students whose brothers or sisters attend NLA in September 2026. If their siblings are in Years 11 or 13 at the point at which the Year 6 application is made for Year 7, their siblings may no longer be attending NLA in September 2026, therefore siblings in these year groups are not included in this category.
4Children of staff — (i) Where the member of staff has been employed at the trust for two or more years at the time at which the application is made. (ii) Where a member of staff is recruited to the trust to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
5Distance — Students living closest to NLA. The distance will be measured by straight line distance between the child’s permanent home address and the North Liverpool Academy using the local authority’s computerised measuring system.

If two applications tie: Where priority cannot be determined at criterion 5 (distance) because pupils live identical distances, priority will be determined through independently verified random allocation, including where pupils live in the same block of flats or are twins/triplets or other multiple births.

Admission number is 230 for Years 7-11 and 250 for Years 12 and 13. Separate ordered criteria apply for applicants who do not sit the assessment test and for Sixth Form (KS5) oversubscription, both following a similar but distinct order (see document).

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
