Ursuline Catholic Primary School
Liverpool, L23 6TT · Sefton · primary school
42nd of 69 primary schools in Sefton we can score, 74 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 3,718 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 among them, against 3.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5 out of 10 among them, against 3.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.
Getting in. There are 408 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 12 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? With only 12 places remaining, what is the process for securing a spot if you are on the waiting list? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning routine for younger children?
