About Childwall Valley Primary School
Childwall Valley Primary School sits within the Liverpool local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of 102 similar schools, it placed 78th, placing it in the bottom half of the city’s primaries. 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 significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The school is led by headteacher Joseph Keher and has a capacity of 156 pupils, though it currently houses 226, making it oversubscribed. Its religious character is listed as ‘does not apply’, and it offers nursery provision for younger children. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2017, rated it Good overall, with Good for leadership and management and Good for early years provision. An ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good.
