St Anthony of Padua Catholic Primary School

Liverpool, L18 8BD · Liverpool · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
6.7/10 Above average

16th 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 the 2,560 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1/10 among them, against 7.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 77.0 · 82 40% 3.28

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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1 out of 10 among them, against 7.6 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 217 pupils in a school with 218 places, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place remaining, how does the school handle waiting lists for new admissions? How does the 6.1 out of 10 score in similar-intake schools compare to the progress seen in the 2023 inspection? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard?
