Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
5.1/10 Broadly average

30th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.4/10 against 572 of them, against 5.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 160 pupils in a capacity of 180, leaving 20 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not reached the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities or trips are available to pupils during the school day? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from this primary setting to secondary education?
