About Brackenwood Junior School

Brackenwood Junior School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 60%. This places Brackenwood 24th out of 64 primary schools in Wirral, putting it in the top half of the local authority. It also outperforms the Wirral average of 53% for Key Stage 2 combined expected standards. While the school’s national ranking is in the bottom 50% of all primary schools, its local position is solid, and the data suggests a reliable, above-average performance for the area.
