, LA6 2HJ · Westmorland and Furness · secondary school
16th of 20 secondary schools in Westmorland and Furness we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 448 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 29.5 · 16 | 30% | 0.48 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.48 · 17 | 25% | 0.42 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 37.8 · 13 | 10% | 0.13 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, with the most recent inspection in June 2026. In 2024/25, 29.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 37.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.48 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.0 out of 10 among them, against 1.6 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 332 pupils in a capacity of 300, meaning it is over capacity by 32. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity with 32 extra pupils? What support is available for pupils who are not meeting the national median in attainment? How does the school address the negative Progress 8 score for students from similar backgrounds?
