Thanks everyone who has contributed, including all the staff at Liverpool Record Office. Please note that I don’t have access to school records.  Everything on this site has been collected from the Liverpool Record Office, or given to me by kind contributers.  I cannot locate children as there is no central record!

If you have any questions, information or photos, please e-mail me:  info@liverpool-schools.co.uk  

FreeFind will help you find information about people or schools you are looking for. Use short search terms, e.g. Kevin rather than St Kevin’s. This will generate more results, but is more likely to help you find what you need

Use the site map to see what is where on the site.

I am building up lists of schools and teachers from Liverpool Directories and census returns.  Some are only partially indexed, but I thought they were worth including - you never know, someone may be interested.  They will grow, I promise!  Please check back.

I am always looking for more information about other schools - have a look at the school pages, and contact me if you have anything you would like to share.

For information on teachers who worked in Liverpool, from the 1760s on, see the Teachers’ Page.  This will take you to information from directories, census and other sources including Teacher Registrations.  Take a look at the page on the 1861 census.  This page gives some analysis of the teaching force in Liverpool at the time.
