These are Wirral’s 23 top performing primary schools, according to the DfE.

The latest Department for Education (DfE) primary school league table sees each school awarded a score out of 120 for SAT assessments in reading and maths. The average 'scaled’ scores' refer to Key Stage 2 assessments taken by pupils at the end of Year 6 in the summer of 2025.

We have ranked Wirral primary schools based on the proportion of students meeting the ‘expected standard’. According to the Department for Education, pupils are meeting the expected standard if they achieve a scaled score of 100 or more in their reading and maths tests, and their teacher assesses them as 'working at the expected standard' or better in writing.
