30th of 48 primary schools in Knowsley we can score, 50 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.8/10 against 1,939 of them, against 3.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 62% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 38% | 1.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Millbrook Community Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 5.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils join Samba Workshops, choir, young voices, Science, Mindfulness and SATs clubs. Sports include Cross Country, Athletics, Football, Zumba, Boccia, Multi Sports, Dance and Rugby. Trips visit Gillmoss Recycling Centre, Martin Mere Wetland Centre, Knowsley Safari Park, Moel Famau and Rivington Pike. An after-school club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 325 pupils against a stated capacity of 280. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
