Holy Cross Catholic Primary School
Liverpool, L3 2DU · Liverpool · primary school
62nd of 106 primary schools in Liverpool we can score, 116 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 — 4.9/10 against 1,648 of 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% | 0.89 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Marybone Afterschool Club, Marybone Holiday Club, and Mini Music Makers at the Met.
Getting in. The school has 192 pupils in a capacity of 195 places, leaving 3 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 3 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new starters? Since there is no breakfast club, what options exist for early morning care? How does the school support pupils who did not reach the expected standard in 2024/25?
