Nearly 40% of Knowsley secondary age pupils are still leaving the borough for education.
According to a new report into the borough’s education strategy for the coming years, many of Knowsley’s children do not stay in the area to receive secondary teaching.
While there has been a change from 42% to 38% in recent years, hundreds of children are still leaving Knowsley once they finish primary school education to further their studies elsewhere in Merseyside.
