About St Luke's Catholic Primary School

St Luke's Catholic Primary School is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in Knowsley, one of 50 schools of its type in the borough. It ranks 15th in the local authority, placing it comfortably in the top third of Knowsley primaries. The three highest-ranked peers locally are Halewood Church of England Primary Academy, Halsnead Primary School and Malvern Primary School, all of which sit above St Luke's in the league table. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Whiston Willis Primary Academy, just half a kilometre away. St Luke's itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2022, a significant improvement on its previous Requires improvement judgement. The school serves 214 pupils against a capacity of 236, and just over a third of its children are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a community with above-average disadvantage.
