The Beacon Church of England Primary School
Liverpool, L5 3QG · Liverpool · primary school
43rd 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 — 6.7/10 against 1,717 of them, against 5.3/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 62% | 2.13 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 38% | 3.21 |
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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in swimming and the SPLASH Children's Art and Design club. Trips include visits to Edinburgh, Scotland, The Water Park, Lake District, Crosby Hall, and Merseyside. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 494 pupils in a capacity of 340, meaning it is over capacity by 154. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is significantly over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? How do you handle the lack of wraparound care for families needing early or late supervision?
