About New Brighton Primary School

New Brighton Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s key academic metric for Year 6 pupils is the proportion reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 49%. This places the school below the Wirral local authority average of 53% and ranks it 40th out of 64 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. Nationally, the school sits in the 80th percentile, meaning roughly one in five schools nationally performs lower on this measure. The data suggests that while the school is solidly Good, its academic outcomes are not among the strongest in the area, and parents prioritising top-tier results may want to look at higher-ranked local options.
