About Roose School

Roose School, a state primary in Westmorland and Furness, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent graded inspections. The most recent graded inspection in 2019 awarded Good across all areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed the school 'remains Good'. On academic outcomes, the school's Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show that 59% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits one point above the local authority average of 58%, placing Roose 47th out of 99 primary schools in Westmorland and Furness. While this puts it in the bottom half of the local league table, the school is not far off the middle of the pack, and its individual subject scores are notably stronger in reading and maths.
