Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one.

Liverpool has 193 schools across 4 towns — 113 primary, 32 secondary, educating around 76,097 pupils. 78% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (58 of 74).
