About Anfield Road Primary School

Anfield Road Primary School sits within the Liverpool local authority, a large primary school that ranks 97th out of 102 similar schools in the area. This places it in the bottom half of Liverpool primaries, well behind the top-performing local peers such as Sudley Primary School, Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School in Woolton, and Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 2 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher C Drew-Williams and is a large school, with 734 pupils on roll against a capacity of 744. A notable 43.1 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, reflecting the school's role in a community with higher-than-average disadvantage.
