Warwick Bridge Primary School
Carlisle, CA4 8RE · Cumberland · primary school
66th 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 4,325 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5 out of 10 among them, against 2.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Rotakids, Guitars, Keyboard/piano, Woodwind and Brass, Gardening, Art, Indoor Games, and Computer Club. Sports cover Gymnastics, Running, Football, Dance, and Multi Sports, while arts include a Performance choir and Makaton Choir. Trips visit Talkin Tarn and Bewcastle School. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 182 pupils in a capacity of 160, meaning it is over capacity by 22. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times? How does the school support pupils who did not reach the expected standard in 2024/25?
