Check the area around this school
46th of 74 primary schools in Wirral we can score, 90 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 3,685 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 1.6/10 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 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The school’s early years provision is rated "Outstanding," providing an "excellent start" that prepares children effectively for future learning.
Strengths
- The early years curriculum is "ambitious and well-thought-out," helping children develop a "fascination with learning new things" and "excellent attitudes to learning."
- Staff deliver phonics "consistently well," ensuring most pupils can "read well" by the end of key stage 1, with effective support for those finding reading difficult.

- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified "swiftly and accurately" and receive "effective support" to make progress.
- Governors "ask challenging questions" to hold leaders to account, while staff feel their workload and well-being are valued.
Areas to improve
- In a "small number of subjects," leaders have not clearly identified the essential knowledge pupils need to learn, meaning teachers are "not clear about what to teach or the order in which subject content should be learned."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with staff receiving regular training and working closely with external partners to support vulnerable families.
