About St Luke's Church of England Primary School

St Luke's Church of England Primary School in Sefton holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors singling out personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding. The school’s core academic story, however, is more mixed. At Key Stage 2, 56% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the Sefton local authority average of 59%. That places the school 36th out of 59 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half locally. Nationally, it sits around the 67th percentile. The picture is brighter in reading, where 81% met the expected standard and 32% reached the higher standard, and in maths the average score was 104. But only 5% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and writing and maths expected rates (68% and 71% respectively) also lag behind the strongest local primaries.
