About Crosscrake CofE Primary School

Crosscrake CofE Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Westmorland and Furness local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 58 per cent, Crosscrake’s figure is 45 per cent — a gap of 13 percentage points. The school’s ranking within the authority reflects this: it places 75th out of 99 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50 per cent nationally. That said, the picture is not uniformly weak. In reading, 64 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 104 is solid. Maths tells a similar story, with 55 per cent reaching the expected level and an average score of 103. The real drag comes from writing, where only 45 per cent hit the expected mark, and from the proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects — just 9 per cent. For parents weighing up options, these numbers suggest a school where core literacy and numeracy are broadly in line with national norms, but where combined attainment lags the local competition.
