About Anfield Road Primary School

Anfield Road Primary School is a primary school in Liverpool, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 734 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 29% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 2.0 percentage points compared with 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 99 in reading and 98 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Anfield Road Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 74 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 7.5%. There are about 18.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 45% 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. Anfield Road 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.
