About Woolton Primary School

Woolton Primary School is a large state primary in Liverpool, operating as a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 3 to 11. With 652 pupils on roll against a capacity of 682, it is running very close to full, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 194 applications for 90 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.16. Of those, 86 were first-preference applications, and 80 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.9%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools in the Liverpool local authority. The school also offers nursery provision, meaning families can start their children here from age three, and it has a sensory room among its facilities, which may appeal to parents looking for additional support spaces.
