Hayton CofE Primary School
About Hayton CofE Primary School
Hayton CofE Primary School was judged Outstanding in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, with every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Outstanding. That is a clean sweep, and it matches the school’s previous Outstanding rating from 2014, so consistency is clearly a strength here. On the exam front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 57 per cent. That is a touch above the Cumberland local authority average of 54 per cent, which puts the school in the top half of primary schools in the area. Digging into the individual subjects, writing stands out with every pupil meeting the expected standard, and reading is not far behind at 86 per cent. Maths is the relative weak spot at 64 per cent, though the average maths score of 101 is still in line with the national benchmark.
