Check the area around this school
13th 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 — 6.5/10 against 3,927 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Townfield Primary School
Overview
Townfield Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils feel safe, well cared for, and enjoy their learning. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs, resulting in most achieving well across the curriculum. The school fosters a positive environment where staff and governors work effectively to support pupil development and staff well-being.
Strengths
- Pupils are warmly welcomed, behave well, and feel safe, with bullying dealt with quickly.
- Leaders prioritise reading, delivering a carefully sequenced phonics curriculum that helps pupils become confident readers.
- Staff have high expectations for behaviour, ensuring learning is never disrupted by peers.
- The needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are identified early, with consistent adaptations enabling them to access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Governors play an active part, providing challenge and support through detailed monitoring and regular training.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, pupils find it difficult to make links between existing knowledge and new learning, meaning their knowledge is not as deep as it should be. Leaders should ensure the curriculum in all subjects provides pupils with the skills to make these connections.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff receive comprehensive training and are alert to signs that a pupil may be at risk of harm.
