St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School
About St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School
St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School in Sefton holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school's most recent graded inspection took place in 2017, and an ungraded visit in 2023 confirmed that it remains Good. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 51%. This is below the Sefton local authority average of 59%, placing the school 43rd out of 59 similar primaries in the area. In the national rankings, it sits in the bottom half of all primary schools. However, the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 77% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and average scores in both reading and maths sit at 104, which is in line with the national average of 100.
