About St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary and Nursery School

St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary and Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among Liverpool families, with twice as many applications as places available in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school received 54 total applications for just 27 spots, and of those, 33 put it down as their first preference. That level of oversubscription is a strong signal of local confidence, and it's backed up by the school's solid Ofsted record. In its most recent ungraded inspection in March 2023, inspectors confirmed the school remains Good overall, but notably rated leadership and management as Outstanding. That's a meaningful distinction, suggesting strong direction from headteacher Claire Bellis-Knox and her team. The school also has nursery provision for children from age two, which can be a practical bonus for working parents looking for continuity through the primary years.
