About Merchant Taylors' Girls' School
Merchant Taylors’ is one of the oldest and most highly-respected Girls’ Schools in the North of England.
Founded in 1888 in Crosby, north of Liverpool, the school has a proud record of helping girls to achieve academic success, an extensive programme of enrichment and co-curricular opportunities and an environment that values care and respect for others.
When girls join in Year 7, to the day they leave in Sixth Form, they are encouraged to explore fresh interests, take part in new activities, broaden their horizons and make new friends. Girls are supported to understand the ways in which they can grow as young women of the future by seizing opportunities and challenges and gaining the tools to thrive.
There are also various opportunities to collaborate with the nearby Merchant Taylors' Boys' School, in activities such as drama and music productions, the Combined Cadet Force, Duke of Edinburgh Awards and co-educational classes in selected subjects for Sixth Form students.

Values and Vision
Merchant Taylors’ Girls’ School combines a proud history with a commitment to innovation in education to create the very best platform for the future education of girls.
Girls are encouraged to be ambitious, to develop at a pace that is right for their own talents and needs and have the character and confidence to take risks and try new ways of improving what they do.
Its happy, caring family of staff and pupils underpins everything that is so wonderful about the school. There are strong bonds between girls and their teachers, who encourage each other to promote and support the development of each individual girl. As a result, girls flourish.
The school is rightly proud of its reputation for academic excellence and the breadth of the school curricula allows girls to develop their intellectual curiosity, a real passion for life-long learning and receive a very personalised approach to their studies.
