About St Patrick's Catholic Primary School

St Patrick's Catholic Primary School is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in the Liverpool local authority, serving 231 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of 102 primary schools, it sits at 64th place, placing it in the bottom half of the authority. For context, the top-performing peers in Liverpool include Sudley Primary School, Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School in Woolton, and Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed: for 27 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 48 total applications, with 25 first-preference offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 1.78 suggests strong local demand, even though the school does not rank among the highest academically in the area.
