Westvale Primary School

About Westvale Primary School

Westvale Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Knowsley local authority average, which is a significant point to note for parents comparing options. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 60%, Westvale’s figure is just 48%. That puts the school at rank 41 out of 47 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50% nationally. The gap is not small, and it’s the kind of headline metric that will give families pause. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are the strongest, with 62% of pupils meeting the expected standard and an average scaled score of 103. Maths and writing trail behind, with 52% and 55% respectively hitting the expected mark. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 7%, which is low. So while the school isn’t performing at the level of its top local peers like Halewood Church of England Primary Academy, there are pockets of relative strength, particularly in reading.
