About Holy Name Catholic Primary School

Holy Name Catholic Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Liverpool families, with 64 applications for just 38 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.68. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, and all 38 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting strong local confidence. Parent satisfaction data isn’t published directly, but the oversubscription figures are a reliable proxy for demand. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for personal development — a category that covers how well pupils grow in confidence, resilience and respect for others. Behaviour and attitudes were also rated Good, and inspectors noted the early years provision is Good too. With a headteacher, Neil Morris, leading a school that is almost at full capacity (339 pupils against a 341 capacity), Holy Name feels like a well-regarded community school that local parents actively seek out.
