Check the area around this school
31st 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,499 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Green Park Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils are described as “proud ambassadors” who “play and learn happily together” within a supportive environment. The school fosters strong relationships and high expectations for behaviour and achievement.
Strengths

- The school prioritises reading, with staff delivering phonics “consistently well,” resulting in pupils becoming “confident and fluent readers.”
- Governors “support and challenge the school effectively,” ensuring swift action is taken to identify pupils with additional needs.
- Staff workload is managed through a commitment to “reducing their workload,” which supports staff well-being and effective role fulfilment.
- Pupils are “well prepared for life in modern Britain,” learning to respect different cultures and viewpoints through debate skills.
Areas to improve
