The Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley will have A level provision restored through its delivery at SK College Group’s Knowsley campus from September 2018. The 2018/19 prospectus has been published, setting out the A levels available.

The Education Skills and Funding Agency (ESFA) understands that the college has received 95 A level applications to date for the 2018/19 academic year, and that it is currently reviewing each in order to make an appropriate offer to each young person.

The ESFA is working closely with Knowsley local authority, ensuring the implementation of ‘Knowsley Better Together’; the wider local plan for improving access to A levels in Knowsley.
