About Stanton Road Primary School

Stanton Road Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 70 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.59. Every one of those 27 places went to first-preference applicants, which suggests parents who want a spot here tend to rank it top of their list. The school is led by headteacher Susannah McShane and caters for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It’s a mixed, non-religious state primary in the Wirral, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated it Good overall, with Good marks for early years provision, leadership and management, and the quality of education. That’s a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2014, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The school now holds a Good rating across both its recent inspections, and an ungraded visit in 2021 confirmed it remains Good.
