About Liscard Primary School

Liscard Primary School is a popular choice among Wirral families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 132 applications for just 79 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 1.67. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, and all 75 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests strong local confidence. The school is large, with 714 pupils on roll against a capacity of 730, and it serves a diverse community — 35.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. While the Department for Education no longer publishes a formal Parent View recommendation score for this school, the high demand for places is a practical signal that families in the area rate it highly. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, which can be a major convenience for working parents looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
