41st 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 — 7.0/10 against 1,144 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Ranworth Square Primary School
Overview
Ranworth Square Primary School continues to be a good school, offering an inclusive environment where pupils are happy and feel safe. Leaders have established an ambitious curriculum that provides strong foundations in reading and mathematics, supported by staff with high expectations for behaviour and achievement.
Strengths
- The school is described as "very inclusive," with staff who are "welcoming and friendly" and pupils who "trust staff to listen."
- Leaders ensure all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils, experience a "rich diet of cultural visits and sports competitions."
- Reading is a clear priority, with an "effective phonics curriculum" and a library that serves as the "centre of the school."
- Governors have a "strong understanding of the strengths and areas for development" and actively support and challenge leaders.
- Staff workload and well-being are considered in decision-making, with staff appreciating opportunities for professional development.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not teach important knowledge and ideas in enough depth, meaning pupils do not build the "essential knowledge and skills they need to be prepared for the next stage of their education."
- Leaders should ensure greater consistency in the delivery of these subjects so pupils develop knowledge and skills at the "appropriate level of rigour and depth."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders taking responsibilities "very seriously" and staff trained to spot signs of risk and report concerns quickly.
