About Evelyn Community Primary School

When you line up Evelyn Community Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results against the Knowsley local authority average, the gap is striking. 72% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 60% for primary schools. That twelve-point difference places the school seventh out of 47 primaries in Knowsley, putting it in the top 15% locally and in the top quarter nationally. The school’s ranking score of 72 is well ahead of the typical Knowsley primary, though it still sits behind the top three schools in the borough, which score between 77 and 90. With 19.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is fairly typical for the area, which makes the above-average outcomes particularly notable.
