About The Grange Primary School

The Grange Primary School in Sefton serves a community where nearly half of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that puts it well above the local average for primary schools. Yet its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school Good across every category, from quality of education to behaviour and personal development. That consistency matters because it suggests the school is delivering solid outcomes despite the challenges that come with higher-than-average deprivation. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 59, which gives a useful benchmark, though the school’s own KS2 results are not included in the data. What is clear is that The Grange has held a Good rating since at least its previous inspection in 2018, when it also scored Good overall, with early years provision rated as Requires Improvement at that time. The 2023 inspection saw early years provision lifted to Good, alongside all other categories, so the trajectory is positive.
