About George Romney Junior School

George Romney Junior School is a small state primary in Westmorland and Furness, and the first thing most parents will notice is just how oversubscribed it isn't — the school has capacity for 180 pupils but currently only 68 on roll, which means there is plenty of space for new families. This is a school that parents clearly hold in high regard, though we don't have a specific parent recommend percentage to share. What we do know is that the school has just received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its July 2024 inspection, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2016. The inspection team awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. For a school this size, that consistency is notable, and it suggests a tight-knit environment where the headteacher, David Reddy, and his team have created something genuinely effective.
