82nd 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 — 4.2/10 against 938 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 62% | 2.13 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Fazakerley Primary School
Overview
Fazakerley Primary School is described as a "friendly and welcoming" environment where pupils are "very proud" to attend and staff know families well. The inspection highlights a "well-thought out and ambitious curriculum" that prepares pupils effectively for secondary education, supported by "exceptional opportunities" for personal development through clubs and community service.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "exemplary" conduct, showing "deep mutual respect" for staff and peers, with kindness "woven into every aspect of school life."
- The curriculum is "meticulously designed," making "meaningful connections between subjects" and enriching learning through educational visits to museums and galleries.
- Early reading is a key priority; staff are "well-trained" in phonics and "swiftly identify" pupils needing support, helping them become "fluent and accurate readers."
- Personal, social, health and economic education is "particularly strong," promoting health awareness and helping pupils appreciate cultural differences in a "mature, thoughtful way."
- Governors "share the high aspirations" of staff, support staff well-being, and utilise their skills to "support and challenge the school."
Areas to improve
- English activities are not "matched closely enough to pupils' phonics knowledge," causing some early-stage readers, including those with SEND, to struggle with reading texts and writing.
