Bidston Avenue Primary School is much larger than the average primary school. It has 460 pupils on roll with more boys than girls (55%/45%).
The school population draws mainly from two Wards. Firstly, Bidston St James is one of the most deprived parts of the country, as it scores extremely highly on deprivation factors like overcrowding, low levels of basic literacy & numeracy and few qualifications in the household.
Bidston Avenue Primary School is involved with a significant amount of partnership working, particularly with Birkenhead Park School, Bebington High Sports College, and various other schools via our blogging/computing curriculum, PE and Sport networks. We have been strategic partners of the Weatherhead Teaching School Alliance (Wallasey) and the Deep Learning Alliance (Our Lady of Pity, Greasby).
We received our third Eco-School Green Flag (Nov 2013/14, 2015/16 & 2017/18), sixth PE & School Sport Kite Marks (Platinum 2018-2021 and Gold 2015/16, 16/17 & 17/18) and we are committed to be a Net Zero school by 2030.
Pupil numbers are stable and continue to be well above 400 (currently 460).
We support many local schools with School Improvement, ICT, assessment, phonics and Singapore Maths/maths no problem. We support schools with other areas too including: increasing the expectation for Wirral children through Wirral Young Chamber Cadets programme that we have developed with Wirral Chamber of Commerce; with Computing; PE & Sport Development, including speaking at local conferences; Curriculum work, including our Mandarin programme and ‘Sister School’ work.
We have a Sister School in Taicang, China, who have visited us multiple times and vice versa.
We are working with Eureka Mersey (Eureka’s latest museum project) and this has enabled us to work with inspirational local companies (in school and off-site)
