LILA* Liverpool has announced a new A-level football and sports pathway, partnering with Liverpool Football College in association with footballer Steven Gerrard.

English language school LILA* London will close this week after a year of operating, with its directors citing market conditions as the reason for the closure.

Following demand from its students and agents, Liverpool-based LILA* language school is adding a new centre in Canada Water in London to its portfolio, after allocating a budget of around £1m to the development. The school said it consulted its education agents about a new sister site in the UK capital.
