Check the area around this school
29th 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 — 8.1/10 against 199 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 62% | 4.91 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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 Heygreen Primary School
Overview
Heygreen Primary School is described as a “very happy place in which to learn” where pupils “flourish academically and socially.” The report highlights an “aspirational curriculum” that encourages pupils to invest in their own success, resulting in strong achievement from their starting points.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “exemplary” behaviour and attitudes, ensuring lessons are “calm and focused.”
- The early years provision is “exceptional,” with staff using expertise to help children learn new vocabulary and explore their environment with curiosity.
- Staff expertly teach reading, helping pupils grasp phonics quickly and become “fluent readers” who read with “expression and joy.”
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is “exemplary,” allowing them to master new knowledge independently.
- Personal development is “exceptional,” with pupils learning to hold “informed debates” and celebrating differences with respect.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, staff do not always address gaps in pupils’ prior learning sufficiently well, which can hinder deep knowledge retention. The school should ensure these gaps are addressed swiftly.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
