About St Clare's Catholic Primary School

St Clare’s Catholic Primary School in Liverpool is a state-funded mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, with a current roll of 200 pupils against a capacity of 210. That near-full intake sits in a local context where demand is clear: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 42 applications for 26 places, with 23 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.62. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 39.9% — well above the national average for primary schools. As a Roman Catholic school, it draws families who value a faith-based education, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three. The headteacher is Elizabeth MacKenzie, who leads a school that, in its most recent Ofsted inspection, was rated Good overall, with behaviour and attitudes judged Outstanding — a strong signal for parents prioritising a calm, orderly environment.
