About Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School, Woolton

Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School in Woolton is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently educating 209 children against a capacity of 218. That near-full roll is no accident: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 106 applications for just 52 places, making it oversubscribed by a factor of two to one. Of those applications, 50 were first-preference choices, and 49 offers went to first-preference families — a clear signal of local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 9.1%, well below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent catchment. The school is led by headteacher Jill Broom and operates under a Church of England religious character within the Liverpool local authority. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2022, rated the school Good overall, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2016.
