St Cuthberts Catholic Primary School, Windermere
Windermere, LA23 2DD · Westmorland and Furness · primary school
57th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.4/10 against 4,166 of them, against 6.3/10 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) 2022/23 | 88.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.85 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2022/23 | 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2022/23, 88.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 62%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in January 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 45 pupils in a capacity of 86 places, leaving 41 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific steps are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual teaching time?
