About Plantation Primary School

Plantation Primary School in Knowsley has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2014, and an ungraded inspection in 2018 confirmed the school remains Good. The inspection story is one of clear improvement: the previous graded inspection in 2013 rated the school Requires Improvement, with leadership and management also judged to require improvement. In the 2014 inspection, both leadership and management and early years provision were rated Outstanding, and the overall effectiveness climbed to Good. The most informative exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 61 per cent. That figure is just one point above the Knowsley local authority average of 60 per cent, placing Plantation 22nd out of 47 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, the school ranks in the 55th percentile among all state primaries.
