English Martyrs' Catholic Primary School
Liverpool, L21 7LX · Sefton · primary school
25th of 69 primary schools in Sefton we can score, 74 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.5/10 against 4,017 of them, against 4.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join ICT, Reading, Dancing, Chess, and Photography clubs, or play football and cricket. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 467 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 47. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 47 more pupils than its official capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? How does the after-school club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
