About Millfields Church of England (Controlled) Primary School

Millfields Church of England (Controlled) Primary School in Wirral presents a striking contrast to the local authority average for primary schools. While the Wirral average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 sits at 53%, Millfields recorded 0% in the 2023/24 academic year. This is a significant gap that places the school at the very bottom of the local rankings — 64th out of 64 primary schools in Wirral, and in the bottom 1% nationally. The school is also heavily oversubscribed in context: with 59.6% of its 98 pupils eligible for free school meals, it serves a community with high levels of disadvantage, which is a key factor in understanding its headline figures. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024 rated its overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a rating it has held since at least its previous inspection in November 2021.
