About St Brigid's Catholic Primary School

St Brigid's Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Liverpool, Knowsley, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 261 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school.

That marks an improvement of 19.0 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.

There are about 21.1 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 61% 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. St Brigid's Catholic 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.
