About Lister Junior School

Lister Junior School in Liverpool is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and the numbers suggest it is a school that local parents trust. With 239 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, the school is essentially full, indicating steady demand from families in the area. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage for this school, the near-capacity roll is a practical signal that it is a popular choice among Liverpool families. The school is led by headteacher Simon King and is non-religious, with no formal ties to a particular faith. It serves a community with above-average economic need: 45.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that is significantly higher than the national average and points to a school that supports a diverse range of family circumstances.
