About Roscoe Primary School

Roscoe Primary School sits within the Liverpool local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. In the most recent local rankings, it placed 71st out of 102 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of Liverpool’s state primaries. For context, the top-performing nearby peers include Sudley Primary School, Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School in Woolton, and Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School, all of which scored significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Florence Melly Community Primary School, about 1.9 kilometres away. Roscoe’s own most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2023, rated it Requires Improvement across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This was a downgrade from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was judged Good. The school has 214 pupils against a capacity of 286, and a high proportion of pupils — 49.3 per cent — are eligible for free school meals.
