21. West Kirby School and College - Outstanding
Published in February 2022, the Ofsted report for West Kirby School and College states: “Leaders have high ambitions for every pupil. Many pupils arrive at West Kirby after a period of disrupted and turbulent education. Leaders and staff get them back on track. They help pupils to manage their own behaviour, to re-engage with learning and to gain qualifications that set them up well for adult life. Pupils know that staff want to help. Staff support pupils when they find things difficult. This means that pupils can relax and enjoy their time at school. Pupils feel safe because they know staff will listen to any worries they have."

22. Wirral Grammar School for Boys - Good
Published in December 2022, the Ofsted report for Wirral Grammar School for Boys states: “Pupils enjoy a wealth of high-quality opportunities that reflect leaders’ aim ‘to develop each individual’s potential to the full’. Pupils and students excel in the many leadership roles that they are given. These include volunteering in the community and supporting pupils at local primary schools. Students in the sixth form play a central role in the life of the school. For example, they coordinate a peer support group for younger pupils.” Photo: Google Street View
