St Anne's Catholic Primary School
About St Anne's Catholic Primary School
St Anne's Catholic Primary School in Wirral is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is effectively full. With 245 pupils on roll against a capacity of 247, there is almost no spare space, and the school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 34 applications for 25 places. Of those, 20 were first-preference applications, and all 20 were offered, giving a clear sense that this is a school local families actively want. The demographic profile is notable: 57.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average and marks the school out as serving a community with higher-than-typical levels of disadvantage. That context matters when looking at its outcomes and the support it provides. The school also offers nursery provision for two-year-olds, so it can be a long-term home for children from early years right through to Year 6.
