34th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.7/10 against 1,402 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Hatton Hill Primary School
Overview
Pupils feel happy and secure at this school, valuing the care from supportive staff and embracing a strong reading culture. Leaders maintain high expectations for achievement, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), resulting in good outcomes across the curriculum. The school fosters positive behaviour and personal development, with governors playing an active role in oversight.
Strengths
- Leaders have built a "broad and balanced curriculum" that makes good use of the local community and is "equally ambitious for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND."
- Reading is "championed by leaders" and sits at the core of the curriculum, with effective phonics teaching ensuring pupils read with "confidence and fluency."
- Pupils with SEND have their needs "identified quickly and accurately," receiving high-quality support that allows them to learn the same curriculum as their classmates.
- The curriculum enriches personal development through opportunities such as visits to local museums and projects with the police service, helping pupils understand "citizenship, civil duty and the rule of law."
- Staff workload and well-being are considered by leaders, and disruption to lessons is rare, with bullying incidents dealt with appropriately.
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders must establish clearer links between the early years curriculum and Key Stage 1 to ensure pupils "continue to build their knowledge securely" when transitioning to Year 1.
- Some subject leaders need to gain greater insight into how well the curriculum is delivered and its impact on achievement to better support teachers in helping pupils "know and remember more."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff trained to identify signs of abuse and leaders engaging effectively with wider services to secure tailored support for vulnerable families.
