Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Primary School
Widnes, WA8 8JN · Halton · primary school
21st of 47 primary schools in Halton we can score, 49 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 — 4.3/10 against 3,085 of them, against 4.3/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.66 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.3 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Phonics, Art and Craft, Year 6 Maths, Writing, Reading, Gardening, Classical Literature, and Chess Clubs. Sports options include Tennis, Dance, and Rugby, alongside a Choir and a Year 3 Art Club. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 190 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 20 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils preparing for secondary education?
