Penruddock Primary School
Penrith, CA11 0QU · Westmorland and Furness · primary school
105th of 108 primary schools in Westmorland and Furness we can score, 121 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 1,294 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.2/10 among them, against 0.8/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 40% | 0.27 |
| Ofsted | 6 | 35% | 0.21 |
| 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.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to raise attainment from 38.0% to the national median of 64%? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the outdoor trips support the curriculum for pupils who did not reach the expected standard?
