50th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.1/10 against 136 of them, against 2.6/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 62% | 1.48 |
| 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 Leasowe Primary School
Overview
Leasowe Primary School is described as an inclusive environment where pupils are happy and benefit from "strong and supportive relationships" with staff. The report highlights a "calm and purposeful atmosphere" and notes that pupils, including those with special educational needs, achieve well across the curriculum.
Strengths
- Staff greet pupils with a smile, fostering a positive start to the day and encouraging good behaviour through rewards like raffle tickets.
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious," with a clear focus on developing language skills from the early years and a central emphasis on reading.
- Staff have developed expertise in teaching phonics, ensuring pupils who find reading difficult receive timely support to become "fluent, confident readers."
- Pupils eagerly take on leadership roles, such as school councillors and reading buddies, which helps them develop confidence and contribute meaningfully to school life.
- Governors provide a "balance of support and challenge," using their varied experiences to hold the school to account for educational outcomes.
Areas to improve
- The school must reduce rates of persistent absence, which are currently "too high" and create gaps in pupils’ knowledge.
- In a small number of subjects, core knowledge is not clearly identified, meaning some pupils do not retain important content over time.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
