Jericho Primary School
Whitehaven, CA28 6UX · Cumberland · primary school
19th 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 4,271 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 89.0 · 97 | 40% | 3.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 89.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2 out of 10 among them, against 6.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Mindfulness, Baking, Shakespeare, Choir, Bounce, Recorder, and Art Clubs, as well as Football and Gymnastics. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 363 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 57 spare places. It has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late or leave early without wraparound care? What specific steps are taken to help the 2.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? How does the curriculum address the gap between the school’s 6.2/10 similar-intake score and the national 6.9/10?
