About Hallbankgate Village School

Hallbankgate Village School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2010. The school's leadership and management were also judged Good. When it comes to academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 29% of pupils achieved this benchmark, compared with a local authority average of 54% for Cumberland. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure, ranking 103rd out of 111 primary schools in the local authority. The picture is more mixed when looking at individual subjects: 86% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, well above the national average, while 57% did so in writing and only 43% in maths.
