About Banks Road Primary School

Banks Road Primary School sits below the Liverpool local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 54% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against an LA average of 59%. That gap of five percentage points places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Liverpool, ranked 67th out of 102. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 79% of pupils met the expected standard in both maths and writing, which is respectable, while reading lagged at 67%. At the higher standard, just 4% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, though 29% did so in reading and 25% in maths. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That represents a drop from its previous Outstanding rating in 2011, but the ungraded inspection confirmed the school remains on a Good footing.
