Chetwynde School
Barrow-in-Furness, LA13 0NY · Westmorland and Furness · all-through school
11th of 20 secondary schools in Westmorland and Furness we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 915 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among them, against 4.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 46.4 · 57 | 30% | 1.70 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.39 · 21 | 25% | 0.53 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.2 · 41 | 10% | 0.41 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 46.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.2, slightly below the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.39 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2 out of 10 among them, against 4.1 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 514 pupils in a capacity of 510 places, meaning it is over capacity by 4. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What support is available for pupils who are not meeting expected progress? How does the school maintain its Good rating while addressing the gap in similar-intake comparisons?
