Courage Through Faith
St. Edward's College is a coeducational Catholic school with academy status in the UK located in the West Derby suburb of Liverpool. The institution was formerly a boys grammar school run by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, known widely as The Irish Christian Brothers. St Edward's College (also known as SEC) is heavily over subscribed every year, and has a reputation as one of the best schools in North West England.
The school pupils are identifiable by the bright purple blazer that is part of the uniform for pupils in years 7 to 9 (years 10 to 13 wear a black blazer). The school is heavily over-subscribed.
The school is situated on the eastern side of Queen's Drive (A5058), a half-mile north of the A57 junction and the Alder Hey Children's Hospital. The North Liverpool Extension Line passed to the rear of the school, next to the playing fields, which is now part of the Trans Pennine Trail and NCN Route 62. Liverpool Community College have a site on the opposite side of Queen's Drive in Tuebrook, the former Millbank College of Commerce.
In 1853 the Catholic Institute was founded by Father James Nugent, at a time when barely 5% of Catholic children received any education at all.
An early visitor to the CI, based in Hope Street near the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, was Cardinal Wiseman, who formally opened the school.
