Florence Melly Community Primary School
Liverpool, L4 9UA · Liverpool · primary school
10th 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 — 7.4/10 against 1,708 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in February 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join art club, cross-country, multi-sports, football, and basketball clubs. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 450 pupils in a capacity of 464, leaving 14 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 14 places remaining, what is the current waitlist status for new admissions? Since there is no after-school provision, how do parents manage care arrangements after the school day ends? How does the school support pupils who did not reach the higher standard in their 2024/25 assessments?
