About Greystoke Primary School

Greystoke Primary School is a small state primary in Westmorland and Furness, and its headline metrics paint a picture of a school that is performing well above the local average for its type. The most recent local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 58, and while Greystoke’s own KS2 results are not provided in the data, its overall Ofsted rating of Good and the fact that it has held that rating across both its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and its ungraded inspection in 2022 suggest consistent quality. The school is also notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 16 applications for just 9 places, with 11 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.78. That level of demand, in a borough with 121 primary schools and only six rated Outstanding, indicates that local families see Greystoke as a strong option.
