About Brunswick School

Brunswick School, a state primary for children aged 3 to 7 in Westmorland and Furness, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good, following a full graded inspection in 2018 that awarded Good for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. With 150 pupils on roll against a capacity of 135, the school is clearly popular. Its most telling exam metric is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score of 58, which provides a benchmark for the area. While Brunswick School itself does not publish its own KS2 results in the available data, this LA average gives parents a useful reference point when comparing primary outcomes across Westmorland and Furness, where only 6 out of 121 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating.
