Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School and Nursery
Liverpool, L7 8TQ · Liverpool · primary school
31st of 106 primary schools in Liverpool we can score, 116 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 — 7.5/10 against 2,004 of them, against 6.3/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Recorder, Choir, STEM, Phonics, Crafts, and Beatbox clubs, or play Multi-Skills, Tag Rugby, Football, and Basketball. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 235 pupils in a capacity of 240, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist when only 5 places remain? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support daily routines?
