About Monksdown Primary School

Monksdown Primary School sits slightly below the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 53% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a Liverpool average of 59%. That places it 68th out of 102 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom half of the local rankings. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023, provides some reassurance, though it’s worth noting that Monksdown was previously rated Outstanding back in 2007. The current inspection gave Good marks for early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness, with no grade lower than that. For parents comparing options, the gap to the LA average is modest but real, and the school’s position in the local table suggests it performs solidly rather than spectacularly against its immediate peers.
