Pleasant Street Primary School

What Pleasant Street Primary School does

Pleasant Street Primary School is a state-maintained primary school located in Liverpool City Centre (L3 5TS), operating under Liverpool City Council as the local authority. The school delivers mainstream primary education from Nursery (age 3) through Year 6, covering the Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2 curricula, with a maximum mainstream capacity of 210 pupils (30 per year group). It additionally operates a specialist Speech and Language Resource Base (Class 7) accepting pupils with SLCN needs placed by the SLCN Panel, and provides wraparound care through a free Breakfast Club and the fee-based Busy Bees After School Club (£10 per session, 3:15–6:00pm). The school runs on third-party educational technology — Seesaw for homework and parent communication, TT Rockstars and Spelling Shed for practice, Nessy for literacy support, and ParentPay for fee management — alongside a custom parent app for notifications and absence reporting. Its teaching and pastoral team of approximately 40+ staff includes phase leaders, a SENCo, a Speech and Language Resource Unit lead, a Family Liaison Officer, and the therapy dog Sasha. Public 2025 outcomes (89% Y1 Phonics, 86% KS2 Maths EXS, 79% KS2 Reading EXS) materially outperform national averages, and a 2023 OFSTED inspection reported positive findings on behaviour and safeguarding.

The school does not operate as a commercial entity: there are no tuition fees, and income is derived from statutory per-pupil funding, Pupil Premium, PE and Sports Premium, modest paid meal fees (£2.00/day or £10.00/week), and wraparound care fees. Distribution is exclusively via the Liverpool City Council admissions process (for Reception through Year 6) and direct school applications (for Nursery), serving a culturally diverse catchment in Liverpool City Centre. Notable commercial partnerships include Food for Thought Liverpool (catering, providing halal and vegetarian options) and safeguarding curriculum relationships with the NSPCC, NHS, and Community Police Service. The school is governed by a multi-stakeholder Governing Body (Local Authority, Staff, Parent, and Co-opted Governors) rather than shareholders.
