Castle Carrock School

Brampton, CA8 9LU · Cumberland · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
4.7/10 Broadly average

37th of 119 primary schools in Cumberland we can score, 145 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,221 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 4.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6 out of 10 among them, against 4.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in swimming.

Getting in. The school has 45 pupils in a building with 120 places, leaving 75 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. With no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for parents needing care before or after the school day? How does the school support pupils aiming for the higher standard, given that 0.0% achieved it last year? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual attention during lessons?
