About Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School

Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School in Liverpool is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for children aged 2 to 11, currently home to 385 pupils against a capacity of 402. That near-full roll suggests a settled local reputation, and the demand is clearly there: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for 45 places, making it officially oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.51 applicants per spot. Notably, all 43 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which is a strong signal that families who want it tend to get in. The school serves a community with above-average disadvantage — 39.6% of pupils qualify for free school meals, well above the national primary average of around 23%. This context matters when reading the school's academic results, as it achieves solid outcomes despite a higher-than-typical level of pupil need.
