About Crosby-on-Eden CofE School

Crosby-on-Eden CofE School stands out sharply against the Cumberland primary average for Key Stage 2. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 54%, this small Church of England school achieves 83% — a full 29 percentage points higher. That performance places it 4th out of 111 primary schools in Cumberland, comfortably inside the top 10% nationally. The school’s reading results are particularly striking: 92% of pupils hit the expected standard, and 75% reached the higher standard, compared with just 33% in maths and writing at the higher level. With only 87 pupils on roll and a capacity of 100, this is a genuinely small setting where the data suggests academic outcomes punch well above the local norm.
