About Much Woolton Catholic Primary School

Much Woolton Catholic Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Liverpool, with 58% of its Year 6 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 59% for primary schools, placing it 56th out of 102 schools in the area. Where the school really stands out is in reading: 83% of pupils hit the expected standard and 30% achieved a higher score, both well above the typical LA picture. Maths tells a slightly different story, with 65% reaching the expected level and 13% hitting the higher threshold. The school's overall ranking places it in the bottom half nationally, but within Liverpool it sits comfortably in the middle, neither a standout performer nor a cause for concern.
