About Mersey Park Primary School

Mersey Park Primary School in Wirral has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in January 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school is one of only six primary schools in the local authority to hold the top rating. On the key academic measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, 76% of children achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is well above the Wirral local authority average of 53% and places Mersey Park 6th out of 64 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 76 reflects strong performance across the board, with particularly high proportions of pupils meeting expected standards in writing (84%) and maths (81%).
