About Devonshire Park Primary School

Devonshire Park Primary School sits in the bottom half of Wirral primaries when it comes to the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. The school’s figure of 42% is notably below the local authority average of 53%, and this places it 49th out of 64 primaries in the borough. The gap is significant, but it’s worth noting that the school serves a community with a high level of disadvantage: 38.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, found that standards were being maintained, and it continues to hold a Good rating overall, a grade it has held consistently since at least its 2015 graded inspection. The early years provision and leadership and management were also judged Good in that 2015 inspection.
