About Townfield Primary School

Townfield Primary School's headline Key Stage 2 results sit well above the Wirral local authority average, with 75% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a LA average of 53%. That 22 percentage point gap places the school 8th out of 64 primary schools in Wirral, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school doesn't rely on a single strong subject either — reading, writing and maths all land above 80% individually, with reading at 85%, writing at 83% and maths at 80%. A higher-than-average proportion of pupils also reach greater depth, particularly in reading at 29% and writing at 25%, though maths at 22% is slightly behind. For parents comparing Wirral primaries, Townfield is clearly a strong, consistent performer that delivers above-average outcomes across the board, without being an outlier at the very top.
