About Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School

Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School sits in the bottom half of Liverpool primary schools when it comes to the headline KS2 measure, with 50% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is nine percentage points below the local authority average of 59%, a gap that parents considering the school will want to weigh carefully. The school ranks 77th out of 102 primaries in Liverpool, placing it in the bottom 50% nationally on this metric. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single number suggests. The school is oversubscribed — 118 applications for 83 places in 2025/26 — and 84% of parents who responded to the Parent View survey would recommend it, which hints at factors beyond raw exam scores that local families value.
