About Eastway Primary School

Eastway Primary School sits in the bottom quarter of Wirral primary schools on its headline Key Stage 2 measure, with just 24% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is less than half the local authority average of 53%, and it places the school 60th out of 64 primaries in the borough. The picture is starkest in maths, where only 29% of children met the expected level and just 3% achieved a higher standard. Reading fares a little better, with 47% hitting the expected mark and 12% reaching the higher threshold, while writing is the strongest area: 71% of pupils achieved the expected standard and 12% secured a higher score. The school’s average maths score of 96 is below the national benchmark of 100, though the average reading score of 100 is exactly in line with it. These results reflect a school serving a community with high levels of disadvantage — 52.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
