Broad Square Community Primary School
Liverpool, L11 1BS · Liverpool · primary school
23rd of 106 primary schools in Liverpool we can score, 116 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 — 8.4/10 against 1,885 of them, against 7.1/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit Barnstondale. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 396 pupils in a capacity of 450 places, leaving 54 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils’ literacy development to maintain its performance above the national median? What are the specific arrangements for supervision during lunchtimes, given the absence of a breakfast club? How does the school plan to utilise its current spare places for future admissions?
