Check the area around this school
48th 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 the 1,727 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5/10 among them, against 4.9/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 King David Primary School
Overview
Pupils at King David Primary School are described as happy, proud, and well cared for within a diverse community where differences are celebrated. The school delivers a high-quality education with an ambitious curriculum that generally helps pupils achieve well, supported by strong leadership and effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, demonstrating "kindness, respect and responsibility" and listening attentively in "calm and purposeful" lessons.
- Reading is a high priority; early reading is taught effectively, ensuring pupils develop into "fluent and accurate readers" who take joy in sharing books.
- The school identifies the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "swiftly and accurately," providing appropriate adaptations and support.
- Personal development is well-designed, with pupils understanding how to keep themselves "healthy and safe" and appreciating values such as democracy.
- Governors actively support and challenge the school, considering the impact of changes on staff workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum lacks sufficient detail regarding the "small steps of key knowledge," making it difficult for pupils to build a secure body of knowledge.
- The curriculum is not implemented consistently in some subjects, meaning pupils do not learn all they should; staff require further training and guidance to ensure consistent delivery.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
