Higher Bebington Junior School
Wirral, CH63 8QE · Wirral · primary school
24th 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 4,231 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 5.0/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4 out of 10 among them, against 5.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club and an after-school club. Activities include Lego, board games, and mindful colouring clubs; sports such as athletics, football, and judo; and arts including rock band, choir, and guitar lessons. The school also organises residential visits and educational day trips.
Getting in. The school has 361 pupils in a capacity of 384, leaving 23 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What specific support is available for children who need extra help with reading or maths? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving to secondary school?
