About this school
Linacre Primary School will be a primary academy in Bootle. It teaches children aged 3 to 11.
Ofsted will inspect it once it opens.
Ofsted judgement
Linacre Primary School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2027, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Linacre Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
