Everton Football College are proud to be part of the Everton family; our approach to study, and our student experience, truly embraces the philosophy of Everton Football Club who have provided such tremendous support to us.
Their motto "Nil Satis Nisi Optimum" informs everything that we do, and we believe passionately that our students deserve "Nothing but the Best". Our direct association with Everton Football Club both motivates, and inspires, our journey of success.
In addition to our links with the club, we are also proud of our partnership with Everton in the Community which is one of the UK's top sporting charities. Their work dovetails perfectly with our own as we strive to provide our students with the best possible educational outcomes whilst simultaneously tackling social issues.
The school and college have been on an incredible journey over the last ten years. We are ambitious for the future and excited to see how we continue to grow in the next few years, particularly considering Everton's ambitious plans for the Goodison Park area when the team moves to the Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium.
Everton Football College strongly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to take part in and fulfil their academic and practical potential through their chosen sport.
As a college student, you will be encouraged to:
- improve your life chances
- embark on a chosen pathway towards University
- pursue scholarship opportunities
- progress on to work or further study
Football is an important part of what we do, it is embedded into college life and our success is world-wide. We cater for all abilities, including playing for our teams in the National Youth Leagues to local leagues and competitions. You will be supported with excellent pastoral care and have access to a wide array of additional enrichment opportunities developed with just one goal - to help you succeed.
We believe our students should be free to:
- Excel and achieve nothing but the best
- Value the potential of teamwork
- Enjoy new ways of thinking
- Revel in learning
- Tackle challenges without fear
- Open new doors of opportunity
- Nurture their talents and never give up
We promote the importance of the 3 Rs: Respect, Responsibility and Resilience.

Our post-16 curriculum offers a wide range of educational opportunities designed to inspire and motivate you as you plan for your future - supported every step of the way. Our teachers are committed to a 'Nil Satis Nisi Optimum' educational experience and our specialist classrooms and resources will encourage you to reach your potential. Our achievements speak for themselves: we are extremely proud of our academic results and above-national-average pass rates for our subjects, celebrating 100% attainment.
In collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University we also run our own very successful degree programme in Sport Development & Coaching which provides our students with a first class higher education offer.
In addition, you will be inspired to develop your practical skills, taking part in regular coaching sessions delivered by fully qualified coaches, as well as having the chance to compete against other Premier League academy teams. Aside from football, there are life changing enrichment opportunities that our students can choose to access to enhance their personal development.
I am extremely proud of our college and our students. I work with a 'nothing but the best' team of teachers, coaches and staff who ensure that our student success and well-being is at the heart of all we do. This means that every student has access to superb teaching, learning, pastoral and enrichment opportunities to enable them to reach their full potential as a student, player and young citizen prepared for all that life has to offer.
