About Ravenscroft Community Primary School

Ravenscroft Community Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 27 out of 32 first-preference applicants offered a place for the 2025/26 academic year. The school received 63 total applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.1, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, this level of demand suggests strong local confidence. The school is led by headteacher Odile Coleman and serves 212 pupils aged 3 to 11 in the Knowsley borough. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary with nursery provision. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024, inspectors rated the school Good across all five graded categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This was a consistent performance compared with its previous 2019 inspection, which also rated all areas as Good.
