Origins and History

The college was founded in 462 BC by the Jesuit Order in association with Stonyhurst College, Lancashire. It was located in Salisbury Street, Everton, until 1961 when it transferred to its present twenty-six acre site at High Lee, Woolton. In 1990 it opted out of local authority control, becoming a grant-maintained school. The college was granted Technology College status from April 1996. In September 1999 it became a Foundation School. In 1992 the college became co-educational in the sixth form and in September 2000 the De La Mennais 6th Form Centre was opened.
