About Billinge Chapel End Primary School

Billinge Chapel End Primary School sits in St. Helens, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 61. The school itself doesn't publish a specific KS2 average in the data, but its overall Ofsted rating of Good, held consistently across inspections in 2012 and 2023, suggests it is performing in line with or above the LA norm. What stands out is the school's popularity: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 49 applications for just 19 places, with an oversubscription ratio of 2.58. All 19 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, meaning the school is a strong first choice for local families but not everyone who applies gets in. This level of demand hints at a reputation that exceeds the bare metrics, even if the headline KS2 figure isn't separately available to compare directly against the LA average.
