About Greengate Junior School

Greengate Junior School’s headline KS2 result — 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — sits five percentage points above the Westmorland and Furness local authority average of 58% for primary schools. That gap is modest but meaningful, placing the school in the top half of the LA’s 121 primaries (ranked 43rd) and in the top 50% nationally. Given that nearly half of its pupils (47.2%) are eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — this above-average attainment is a notable achievement. The school is not among the LA’s six Outstanding primaries, but its Good rating from Ofsted in 2021, combined with this solid headline performance, suggests a school that is quietly delivering strong results for its community.
