About St Mary's Catholic Primary School

St Mary's Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Liverpool, Sefton, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 90 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 13.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 39% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Mary's Catholic Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 12 families who put it first were offered a place. There are about 14.1 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
