About Croftlands Junior School

Croftlands Junior School in Ulverston is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, currently operating well below its physical capacity. With 161 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 240, there is significant room for growth, and the school is not oversubscribed. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14. 3%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools in England (around 12-13%) and suggests a moderate level of socio-economic diversity in the intake. The school is mixed gender and has no religious character, so it serves a broad cross-section of the local community in Westmorland and Furness. Despite the spare capacity, the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its most recent graded inspection, having improved from a Requires Improvement judgement in 2011. The leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, are both rated Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good.
