About Broad Square Community Primary School

Broad Square Community Primary School sits within the Liverpool local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of 102 primary schools, it placed 66th, placing it in the bottom half of the authority. For context, the top-performing peers in Liverpool include Sudley Primary School, Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School in Woolton, and Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School, all of which scored notably higher on the same ranking metric. The school is led by headteacher Charlotte Foden and has a current roll of 410 pupils against a capacity of 450, meaning it is not yet full. It is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, however, with 69 applications for 35 places and 32 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of nearly two-to-one. The school also offers nursery provision, which may appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
