78th 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 3,899 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5/10 among them, against 1.6/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Haverigg Primary School
Overview
Haverigg Primary School is described as a “nurturing school” where “pupils’ well-being is at the heart” of provision. The report states that the school’s “well-designed curriculum is ambitious and engaging for all pupils,” including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are “well prepared for the next stage of their education” in most subjects, benefiting from high expectations and a focus on resilience.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “carefully ordered,” with staff delivering it “consistently well” and using assessment strategies successfully in most subjects.
- Reading is “at the centre of the curriculum,” with staff effectively identifying and addressing gaps in phonics knowledge to help pupils read with “fluency and accuracy.”
- Pupils develop a “broad and rich vocabulary” through clear explanations of new words and confident use in discussions.
- The school ensures the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND, are “identified, known and understood by staff,” who receive suitable training to support them.
- Governors have a “clear vision” and “hold the school to account effectively,” while also considering staff workload during changes.
Areas to improve
- In a “small number of subjects,” checks on learning are not fully effective in identifying knowledge gaps, meaning “earlier learning is not secure for some pupils.” The school must ensure assessment strategies identify misconceptions so gaps are addressed.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
