About St Michael's Catholic Primary School

St Michael's Catholic Primary School in Liverpool posts a Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths of 72%, comfortably above the Liverpool local authority average of 59% for primary schools. That 13-point gap is significant and places the school 19th out of 102 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 20% locally. It also ranks in the top 25% nationally. The school is heavily oversubscribed — 67 families applied for 47 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 40 putting it as their first preference. That level of demand makes sense given the results, but it also means getting a place is far from guaranteed. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024 awarded an overall Good rating, a clear improvement from the Requires Improvement it received in 2020. Behaviour and attitudes were singled out as Outstanding, which is the highest possible grade.
