Castle Park School
Kendal, LA9 6BE · Westmorland and Furness · primary school
26th of 108 primary schools in Westmorland and Furness we can score, 121 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 3,562 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 6.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 66.0 · 54 | 62% | 3.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4 out of 10 among them, against 6.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join IT and craft clubs, or take part in archery, orienteering, swimming, and rugby and hockey festivals. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 338 pupils in a building with 315 places, meaning it is over capacity by 23. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How are the IT and craft clubs structured for different age groups?
