About Ravenscroft Community Primary School

Ravenscroft Community Primary School is a primary school in Liverpool, Knowsley, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 212 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 32% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 2.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 102 in reading and 100 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 96% of the families who made Ravenscroft Community Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 8.8%. There are about 20.7 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 53% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Ravenscroft Community Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
