[1] It can be considered a sister school to Liverpool Life Sciences UTC which is run by the same trust and shares the same section of the former Contemporary Urban Centre, a restored Victorian-era warehouse in the Baltic Triangle.

The former Contemporary Urban Centre, more commonly known as CUC, is a grade II-listed,[3] Victorian era warehouse on Greenland Street in Liverpool.

The school specializes in technology and digital art,[8] and has six sponsors that support its teaching.

[9] For its sixth form, pupils can choose their own courses or follow one of two recommended learning pathways that determine curriculum options.
