About St Gregory's Catholic Primary School

St Gregory's Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Merseyside, Sefton, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 234 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 79% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 38% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 81% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (36 first choices for 29 places). Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 23.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. St Gregory'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.
