Netherton Moss Primary School
About Netherton Moss Primary School
Netherton Moss Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit well below the Sefton local authority average, which is a key point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 42% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a 59% LA average for primary schools. That puts the school in the bottom half of Sefton’s 74 primary schools, ranked 51st, and in the bottom 10% nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 61% reached the expected level in reading and 58% in maths, but writing lagged at 48%. No pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths together, though 23% did hit the higher bar in reading. The school’s maths average score was exactly 100, with reading slightly higher at 102. These figures suggest that while some pupils are doing fine, the school has significant ground to make up on the LA average.
