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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,166 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 2.0/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| 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.

Overview
Moor Row Community Primary School is described as a “warm and welcoming” environment where pupils are happy and behave well. The report highlights an “ambitious, high-quality curriculum” that successfully builds knowledge in most subjects, supported by strong reading provision and effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate a “love of reading” and, by the end of key stage 1, most are “fluent readers” due to prioritised phonics teaching.

- Attendance is high, with the school working closely with parents to overcome barriers, ensuring pupils are “rarely absent.”
Areas to improve

- Staff well-being and workload have not had “sufficient consideration” during recent changes, leaving some staff feeling “overwhelmed.”
- The governing body should improve communication with staff to ensure they are “engaged fully with future school improvement.”
