About Greasby Infant School

Greasby Infant School, a state primary for children aged 3 to 7 in Wirral, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024. While the overall effectiveness was not judged in that graded inspection, the school earned an Outstanding grade for behaviour and attitudes, with Good marks across quality of education, early years provision, personal development, and leadership and management. This represents a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2010, where early years provision was graded as Requires Improvement. The school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 115 applications for just 54 places, with 47 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 2.13 tells you this is a school in genuine demand, and with only 2.3% of pupils eligible for free school meals, it serves a relatively affluent catchment.
