About Springwood Heath Primary School

Springwood Heath Primary School sits within the Liverpool local authority, a large primary landscape of 115 schools where it currently ranks 52nd. That places it right in the middle of the pack, with a percentile of 51 among its Liverpool peers. The top-performing schools in the area — Sudley Primary, Bishop Martin Church of England Primary in Woolton, and Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary — all score notably higher on the ranking metric, but Springwood Heath holds its own as a solidly mid-tier option. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. It has capacity for 258 pupils but currently enrols 211, and 27 per cent of those pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the school's inclusive intake.
