Kingmoor Junior School
Carlisle, CA3 0DU · Cumberland · primary school
74th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.2/10 against 4,025 of them, against 4.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 7 | 35% | 0.24 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Choir and Orchestra, and participate in swimming, tennis, cross country, football, cricket, gymnastics, and Bikeability. Trips include Forest Schools, a residential visit, and visits to Glasgow Science Centre, The Military Museum, Tullie House Museum, Walby Farm Park, and the River Eden. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 316 pupils in a capacity of 300, meaning it is over capacity by 16. Consequently, 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 do not reach the expected standard? How do parents arrange care before and after school hours?
