About Fazakerley Primary School

Fazakerley Primary School is a mixed, non-denominational state primary in Liverpool that is currently running very close to its capacity of 420 pupils, with 409 on roll. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 53.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average. Demand for places is strong, with the school oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: it received 55 applications for 34 places, and 32 of those offers went to first-preference families, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.62. This suggests the school is a popular choice among local parents, particularly given that it is one of only eight primary schools in the Liverpool local authority to hold an Outstanding rating in any Ofsted category. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age three, and its facilities include a Forest School, art studios, music rooms, and a chapel.
