About St Alban's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

Parents considering St Alban’s Catholic Primary School will find a school that is well regarded locally, though the data does not include a specific parent recommendation percentage. The school is oversubscribed, with a capacity of 392 pupils, suggesting strong demand from families in the Wirral area. Its Roman Catholic character is a defining feature, and the school includes a chapel on site, which will appeal to families seeking a faith-based education. The most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in October 2024, rated the school Good across all graded areas, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This is a consistent improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good but gave early years provision a lower grade. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, and the 2024 report noted that early years provision had improved to Good.
