Pinehurst Primary School
About Pinehurst Primary School
Pinehurst Primary School in Liverpool sits at the bottom of the local authority rankings for its key stage 2 results, a stark contrast to the Liverpool average. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 59%, Pinehurst’s figure is just 24%. That places the school 98th out of 115 primary schools in Liverpool, and in the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 24 is far behind top local peers like Sudley Primary School, which scores 86. However, Pinehurst is heavily skewed by disadvantage — 54% of its 449 pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. Inspectors noted that behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management were all Good, and early years provision was also rated Good.
