About Church Walk CofE Primary School

Church Walk CofE Primary School, a Church of England state primary in Westmorland and Furness, sits below the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 44%, compared with the LA average of 58% for primary schools. That gap of 14 percentage points places Church Walk in the bottom half of schools in the authority, ranked 78th out of 121. Its national percentile of 87. 4 means it falls towards the lower end of all primaries in England on this metric. However, the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 75% of pupils met the expected standard and 31% reached the higher standard, both well above the maths equivalent of 44% and 6% respectively. The average reading score of 105 is also notably stronger than the maths average of 98. So while the combined headline figure lags behind the LA norm, reading outcomes are a clear relative strength.
