Wreay Church of England Primary School
Carlisle, CA4 0RL · Cumberland · primary school
50th 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 4,272 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among them, against 3.8/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.04 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4 out of 10 among them, against 3.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council and Ethos Team, learn swimming, and visit Stocks Wood Outdoor Centre, Castlerigg Stone Circle, and Blencathra Field Centre. Years 3 and 4 attend an overnight camp, while Years 5 and 6 go on a residential trip. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 81 pupils in a building with 140 places, leaving 59 spare spots. 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 who need extra help with reading and writing? What are the specific learning outcomes from the residential trips? How do teachers manage class sizes given the current low enrolment?
