Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.8/10 Broadly average

26th of 74 primary schools in Wirral we can score, 90 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.4/10 against 747 of them, against 4.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 56.0 · 30 40% 1.19

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.5 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 203 pupils in a capacity of 234, leaving 31 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. With results below the national median, how does the school support pupils who are not reaching expected standards in maths? Since the inspection was in early 2024, what changes have been made to the curriculum since then? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils given the current pupil numbers?
