Ladymount Catholic Primary School
About Ladymount Catholic Primary School
Ladymount Catholic Primary School is a popular choice among Wirral families, with 30 applications for 19 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.58. All 19 first-preference applicants received an offer, which suggests that while the school is in demand, it is not out of reach for those who list it first. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes. This combination of strong demand and high Ofsted ratings for the non-academic side of school life points to a school that parents trust to look after their children well. With 209 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, there is some room for growth, and the school’s nursery provision means children can start from age two.
