92nd of 104 primary schools in Liverpool we can score, 114 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 — 4.1/10 against 952 of them, against 3.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 7 | 35% | 0.24 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Blueberry Park overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. For the higher standard, 8.0% achieved it, against a national median of 7%. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.0 out of 10 against all schools). The March 2026 inspection used the new report-card framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils access Boccia, Matball, Netball, Chess, Panathlon and Bowling. Trips include Western Approaches History, Eureka, Barnstondale, PGL, Chester Zoo and the Catalyst Museum. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 319 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Blueberry Park
Overview
Blueberry Park is described as a "warm and friendly place in which to learn" where staff know pupils well and behaviour is "calm and settled." Leaders have brought "much-needed stability" and taken "decisive" action to improve the curriculum, particularly in mathematics and English, resulting in early positive impacts. However, the report notes that "too many pupils do not achieve well enough" in national tests and that attendance rates remain "high" and below the national average.
Strengths
- The school is a "highly inclusive environment" where pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities access the same "ambitious curriculum" as their peers.
- Early years provision is strong, with a "well-sequenced curriculum" and "highly effective partnerships with parents" supporting smooth transitions.
- Staff are "proud to work at the school" and appreciate leaders’ efforts regarding wellbeing, contributing to a positive culture.
- Pupils benefit from a broad range of enrichment activities, such as trips and clubs, which leaders ensure are accessible to disadvantaged pupils.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teaching reflects "high expectations for all pupils to achieve their potential," particularly for disadvantaged pupils.
- Work is needed to help pupils secure "accuracy and fluency in handwriting" as they progress through the school.
- Leaders should continue efforts to "improve pupils’ attendance and reduce rates of persistent absence."
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" ensuring pupils are made safer and feel safe.
