About Mosspits Lane Primary School

Mosspits Lane Primary School sits within the Liverpool local authority, where it ranks 36th out of 102 primary schools — comfortably inside the top half of its peers. Among the highest-scoring schools in the area are Sudley Primary School, Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School in Woolton, and Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School, all of which sit above Mosspits Lane in the local rankings. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. Headteacher Peter Heery leads a school that currently has 395 pupils on roll, just shy of its 420-capacity. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in March 2023, the school was rated Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That continues a pattern of solid performance: the previous inspection, in 2013, also awarded a Good rating for overall effectiveness.
