School Atlas lists 90 state primary schools, 19 state secondary schools, 1 all-through school, 10 special schools, 1 alternative provision school and 2 post-16 schools and colleges in Wirral. It also lists 10 independent schools and 93 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 36 have a religious character: 22 Roman Catholic, 13 Church of England and 1 Church of England/Roman Catholic.
Of the 110 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Wirral, 56 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 7 Outstanding, 47 Good and 2 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 25 of these schools have had one.
Wirral uses catchment areas but hasn't published a map we can draw.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 66 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
