About St George's Catholic Primary School

St George’s Catholic Primary School sits within Sefton local authority, a borough with 74 primary schools where only six hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is rated Good, a grade it has maintained since its most recent inspection in 2023, when an ungraded visit confirmed it remains Good. In Sefton’s primary rankings, St George’s places 25th out of 59 schools when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — a position that puts it in the bottom half of the local league table. For context, the top-performing peers nearby include St Thomas Church of England Primary School in Lydiate (the nearest Outstanding school, 2.2 km away), St Robert Bellarmine Catholic Primary School and Shoreside Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. St George’s is a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher S Dillon. It has 236 pupils against a capacity of 240, so it is nearly full, and 9.1 per cent of children are eligible for free school meals.
