About St Andrews Church of England Primary School, Maghull

St Andrews Church of England Primary School in Maghull is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is significantly undersubscribed relative to its physical capacity. The school can accommodate 420 children but currently has just 208 on roll, which means it is operating at roughly half its potential size. Despite this, demand for places is notably strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 77 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.66 applicants per place. Of those 77 applications, 24 were first-preference choices, and 23 of those families received an offer. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18.8%, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, and the headteacher is Simon Jones.
