About Kingmoor Junior School

If you're researching Kingmoor Junior School, the first thing you'll notice is that it's a popular choice among local families. The school is significantly oversubscribed, with 348 pupils on roll against a capacity of just 300, which suggests strong demand. While there isn't a specific parent survey or recommend percentage in the data, that level of oversubscription often reflects a positive reputation in the community. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, aged 7 to 11, and sits within the Cumberland local authority. It has no religious character and is not a boarding or nursery provider. Headteacher Hayley Robertson leads the school, which has a relatively high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 16.7%, slightly above the national average. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2021, confirmed it 'remains Good', a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2012, when it was upgraded from a previous 'Requires improvement'.
