About St Teresa of Lisieux Catholic Primary Academy

St Teresa of Lisieux Catholic Primary Academy in Liverpool received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted following its graded inspection in March 2025, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held since its previous inspection in October 2016. The inspection report noted that while the school’s personal development and behaviour and attitudes were both rated Good, the quality of education and leadership and management were judged to require improvement, and early years provision was also rated Requires Improvement. The school’s most informative exam metric is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which sits at 59 for Liverpool primary schools. St Teresa’s own KS2 results are not published in the available data, but the school’s oversubscription ratio of 1.72 for the 2025/26 intake — with 62 applications for 36 places and 35 first-preference offers — suggests it remains a popular choice among local families despite the recent Ofsted rating.
