19th 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 — 8.3/10 against 2,690 of them, against 7.3/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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 Longmoor Community Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms the school remains ‘good’, though evidence suggests a graded inspection might yield a lower judgement. Pupils are described as ‘confident, charming and cheerful’ in a ‘happy place to be’, with strong emphasis on early reading and personal development. However, the school is in the ‘early stages of redeveloping’ several subject curriculums, leading to gaps in learning where oversight is not yet secure.
Strengths
- Early reading is ‘front and centre’ of curriculum thinking, with phonics taught ‘consistently well’ and pupils becoming ‘confident, able readers’.
- Pupils display positive behaviour, ‘get along with each other’, and receive a ‘warm welcome’ from staff who ensure they feel ‘safe and secure’.
- The school provides rich opportunities for broader development, including ‘annual drama productions’, musical tuition, and residential visits that foster independence.
- Effective systems identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) early, with good engagement from external partners for specialist support.
Areas to improve
- Complete the redevelopment of subject curriculums, including in the early years, ensuring teachers have ‘sufficient curriculum guidance’ to help pupils build knowledge securely.
- Strengthen curriculum oversight to ensure subjects are taught as intended and to ‘swiftly address’ instances where content has ‘slipped through the net’.
- Improve governors’ insight into curriculum quality so they can effectively ‘hold leaders to account’ for the impact of recent changes.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
