About Higher Bebington Junior School

Higher Bebington Junior School is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school is nearly full, with 370 pupils on roll against a capacity of 384, and it is oversubscribed, which suggests strong demand from parents in the Wirral area. While the data does not include a specific parent recommendation percentage, the fact that the school is operating close to capacity and has held a Good rating since its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 indicates that families are choosing it with confidence. The school serves a mixed community, with 17.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. This suggests a diverse intake and a school that is well integrated into its local area.
