About Frizington Community Primary School

Frizington Community Primary School’s headline metrics present a mixed picture against the Cumberland local authority average. While the LA average for Key Stage 2 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 54%, Frizington achieves a very similar 55%, placing it almost exactly in line with its peers. However, the school’s rank of 58th out of 111 primary schools in the authority places it in the bottom half, and its national percentile of roughly 30% (meaning 70% of schools nationally score higher) suggests it is not a standout performer. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 17 applications for 11 places and all 11 first-preference offers accepted, indicating strong local demand despite middling headline figures. This suggests families value something beyond the raw attainment data.
