Check the area around this school
22nd of 74 primary schools in Wirral we can score, 90 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 — 5.1/10 against 3,977 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 St George's Primary School
Overview
St George’s Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as "happy and safe" and well cared for by staff. The report highlights an "ambitious curriculum" and effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), resulting in good behaviour and achievement. However, inconsistencies in curriculum design for older pupils in some subjects hinder progress.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy and safe," with staff dealing with bullying "quickly and well" and providing accessible support via a "virtual worry box."
- Leaders have prioritised reading, ensuring children learn phonics from their "very first days in Reception" and enjoy reading for pleasure.
- Staff have "high expectations" for learning and behaviour, leading to "very little low-level disruption" and effective pupil achievement.
- Pupils with SEND are identified early and receive "effective" support from "experienced and knowledgeable teachers," allowing full curriculum access.
- Staff feel "valued and well supported" due to professional development opportunities and a reviewed marking policy to reduce workload.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders must clarify "essential knowledge" because excessive content prevents key concepts from being taught.
- Leaders should ensure the key stage 2 curriculum in some subjects enables pupils to "build on what they already know" to address uneven progress.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "shared culture of safeguarding" where staff are trained to be alert to potential harm and respond quickly to welfare concerns.
