About Cambridge Primary School

Cambridge Primary School sits within the Westmorland and Furness local authority, a mixed state primary for ages 2 to 11. Among the 121 primary schools in the LA, it ranks 62nd on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of local schools. The top-performing peers nearby include Yarlside Academy, St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Ulverston, and Goodly Dale Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest outstanding-rated school is Yarlside Academy, just 1.5 kilometres away. Cambridge Primary itself holds a Good Ofsted rating, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2015. The most recent graded inspection in 2017 gave it Good across the board, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good in that 2017 inspection.
