About St Anne's Catholic Primary School

St Anne's Catholic Primary School in Liverpool posts a Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 67%, which sits eight percentage points above the Liverpool local authority average of 59% for primary schools. That gap is meaningful in a borough where only eight out of 115 primary schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and it places St Anne's at 33rd out of 102 schools in the LA rankings — comfortably inside the top third. The school's most recent graded inspection, in November 2021, awarded it a Good rating across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in December 2017, when the school was judged to require improvement overall, with leadership and management also rated at that lower level. The turnaround under headteacher Gillian Murphy is reflected not just in the Ofsted grades but in the school's academic performance relative to its peers.
