The best performing primary schools in Merseyside - as well as the whole of the UK - for 2023 have been rated, listed, and released in the Sunday Times’ Parent Power Guide.
The schools were ranked on key areas such as reading, writing, numeracy and SATs. Each primary school was given a score out of 350, drawing together the percentage of pupils up to standard in each comparable metric.
Twelve primary schools in Merseyside made the final shortlist of the best in the UK, with national rankings ranging from 38th to 482nd.
Many families are plotting the education journey of their little ones for September - following the completion of National Offer Day and the appeals process with the relevant Local Education Authority - so we have drawn together the list of the best schools in the region.
