About Rudston Primary School

Rudston Primary School in Liverpool is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is currently oversubscribed. With 464 pupils on roll against a capacity of 452, the school is operating slightly above its official limit, a clear signal of local demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 179 applications for 60 places, with 70 families listing it as their first preference; only 55 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of nearly 3:1. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 7.6%, well below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake compared with many Liverpool primaries. The school does not have a religious character, and its nursery provision means children can join from age two, which may appeal to families seeking continuity from early years through to Year 6.
