About St George's Primary School

St George’s Primary School sits within the Wirral local authority, a large primary with 918 pupils that ranks 11th out of 64 primary schools in the area. That places it comfortably in the top 20% of Wirral primaries, though it sits behind the three highest-ranked local peers: Thornton Hough Primary School, Our Lady of Pity Catholic Primary and Nursery School, and Poulton Lancelyn Primary School. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character. It has a nursery on site, and its headteacher is Bernard Cassidy. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 165 applications for 120 places, with 119 offers going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 1.38 suggests strong local demand. Just under 17% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is close to the national average for state primaries.
