It is a foundation grammar school, located within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral and requires all potential pupils to take, and pass, the eleven plus exam exam prior to entry. Former British Prime Minister Harold Wilson was the school's first Head Boy, and attended the Sixth Form there. Today it is one of the few remaining state-run grammar schools in England, and remains one of the highest achieving schools in the area, according to the Times' online survey and the 2007 Department for Education School Performance Tables for 2009.
