About St Hugh's Catholic Primary School

St Hugh's Catholic Primary School in Liverpool was rated Good across all categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2025, a clear improvement from its previous overall rating of Requires Improvement in January 2023. However, the school's academic outcomes present a starkly different picture. At Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year, just 19% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This places the school 102nd out of 102 primary schools in Liverpool on this metric, and in the bottom 50 nationally. The local authority average for the same measure is 59%, meaning St Hugh's pupils are achieving at roughly a third of the rate of their peers across the city. Individual subject scores were also low: 31% reached the expected standard in reading, and 19% in both maths and writing. No pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined.
