Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
1.6/10 Well below average

45th of 48 primary schools in Knowsley we can score, 50 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 4,085 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 1.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0 out of 10 among them, against 1.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the School Council and Children's University. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 334 pupils in a building with 280 places, meaning it is over capacity by 54. This means places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school significantly over capacity, how does the admissions process work for new starters? Since the results are below the national median, what specific support is available for pupils who are not meeting expected standards? How does the school manage the transition for children joining a class that is larger than the building’s intended capacity?
