About Eaves Primary School

Eaves Primary School sits within the St. Helens local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. In the most recent local rankings, based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, the school placed 17th out of 47 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top half of its local peers. The three highest-ranked schools in the area are St Mary's Catholic Primary School, St Mary & St Thomas CofE Primary School, and St Aidan's CofE Primary School Billinge, all of which sit above Eaves in the rankings. The school is not an outlier in its community; rather, it represents a solid, middle-ranking option for families in St. Helens. With 225 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it is slightly oversubscribed, and the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.3 per cent, which is a meaningful data point for parents considering the school's intake profile.
