30th 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 the 3,865 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 3.8/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Mount Primary School
Overview
Mount Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils love attending and enjoy learning. Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and achievement, fostering a positive environment where students feel safe and supported.
Strengths
- Pupils are "unfailingly polite" and play happily together, with friendship ambassadors helping to ensure peers are happy.
- Leaders have designed an "ambitious curriculum" that effectively prepares children for their next stage of learning, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Teachers possess "good subject knowledge" and build on pupils’ previous learning effectively in many subjects, such as mathematics.
- Reading is a key priority; staff are well trained in phonics, ensuring pupils develop into "confident, fluent readers" with access to books promoting diversity and environmental awareness.
- Governors have a "well informed and accurate view" of the school’s performance and support leaders in maintaining staff well-being.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, assessment procedures are not effective enough, meaning teachers are less clear about the next steps in pupils’ learning. Leaders should refine these procedures to better identify prior knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well trained to identify risks and report concerns quickly, while pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe online and understand healthy relationships.
