In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it sits at 70th out of 121 schools, placing it in the bottom half of the table. The top-performing peers in the area are Yarlside Academy, St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Ulverston, and Staveley CofE School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric.
