About Mount Primary School

Mount Primary School in Wirral is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 315 children against a capacity of 341. That leaves a small buffer of 26 places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 102 applications for 43 places, with 42 of those going to first-preference families. That works out at 2.37 applications per place, a healthy oversubscription ratio that suggests local parents are keen to get their children in. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 16.2%, which is worth noting against the national primary average of around 23% — so the school draws from a slightly more affluent-than-average catchment. Headteacher Zoe Byrne leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent graded inspection in 2011 and its ungraded inspection in 2022, where inspectors confirmed it remains Good.
