The Academy of St Nicholas, previously known as Enterprise South Liverpool Academy (ESLA), is a joint Roman Catholic and Church of England secondary school located in Garston, Liverpool, England. The school is co-educational from years 7 to 11 including the sixth form, All Saints Sixth Form College, for ages 16–19.

The school opened in a building costing £23.4m [1] in February 2013. It is a mixed-faith school that accepts students of all faiths and none.

Ofsted Reports

An Ofsted inspection in October 2012 found that ESLA “required improvement”, [2] they then went into special measures in October 2014. The school received £1.2 million emergency funding in 2012 and in 2013/2014[ ambiguous] - only £131,00 of which needs to be repaid.

In 2014 Parklands High School in Liverpool closed down and ESLA agreed to take some of the students in, while their Ofsted report was Inadequate. [3]

In 2016, a number of sponsors of ESLA pulled away from the school including their main sponsor 'Enterprise' losing rights to the word in their school name. Since this time, ESLA/The Academy has risen back to the previous "requires improvement" score in Ofsted reporting. [4] [5]

Branding

The school logo is an abstract depiction of a purple dove (purple being the school's signature colour) with five wings; the five wings represent the academy's five sponsors: Amey PLC, Liverpool City Council, the diocese of Liverpool and the archdiocese of Liverpool, and The University of Liverpool.

Name Change

From 2 February 2017 Enterprise South Liverpool Academy changed to The Academy of St Nicholas, [6] due to the pullout their main sponsor 'Enterprise' and adding more students from The Academy of St Francis of Assisi creating All Saints Sixth Form College.
