Netherton Moss Primary School
Bootle, L30 3RU · Sefton · primary school
65th of 69 primary schools in Sefton we can score, 74 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 — 2.7/10 against 661 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 62% | 1.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school does not currently name any specific clubs, sports, or arts activities for pupils to join.
Getting in. There are 223 pupils in a school with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 13. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when the school is over capacity? What support is available for pupils who are working towards the expected standard in maths? How does the school ensure all children have access to extracurricular opportunities despite the current lack of named clubs?
