New A-level centre proposed for Knowsley
The borough of Knowsley, which stopped offering A levels as it could not afford to, is consulting on plans to bring the qualification back.
Since A-levels were introduced in the 1950s, it was the first time a borough was not able to offer the qualifications. The last school in the borough to teach A-levels, Halewood Academy, announced last year that it could no longer afford to offer the qualifications.
It prompted parents to complain, saying that the borough already had among the UK's lowest rates of university entry.
Representatives from Knowsley Council have held meetings with the Department for Education, the Education Funding Agency and local MPs and are planning a new dedicated centre for A-levels.
A final decision expected in May.
