About Brookvale Primary School

Brookvale Primary School sits within Halton, a local authority where just two of its 49 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself ranks 29th out of 43 primary schools in the borough when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That places it in the bottom half of Halton’s primaries, behind local peers such as Moorfield Primary School, Moore Primary School and Castle View Primary School, which occupy the top three spots in the authority. Headteacher Rob Moore leads a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character. The school has capacity for 280 pupils but currently enrols 224, leaving some room for growth. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2024, rated the school Good overall, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged Good. That marks a change from its previous inspection in 2013, when the school was rated Outstanding.
