Chetwynde School

About Chetwynde School

Chetwynde School’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.39 sits noticeably below the Westmorland and Furness local authority average of -0.12 for secondary schools, meaning pupils here make less academic progress between Key Stage 2 and GCSE than their peers across the borough. That gap is significant enough to place the school 15th out of 19 schools in the LA, putting it in the bottom third locally and the bottom quarter nationally. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 44 is also modest, and just 46.6% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths (the basics 95 measure), compared with a local picture where the average school performs better. On the plus side, the school has a clear upward trajectory in its Ofsted rating: it was graded Requires Improvement in November 2019 but jumped to Good in its most recent inspection in November 2023, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management — now rated Good.
