About Rosley CofE School

Rosley CofE School’s headline metrics sit comfortably above the Cumberland primary average, but the gap is narrower than you might expect for a school ranked 33rd out of 111 in the local authority. Its Key Stage 2 score of 64 for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is ten percentage points higher than the LA average of 54, which is a solid performance for a small village school. Yet the picture is more mixed when you look at the higher standard: only 9% of pupils achieved that top tier across all three subjects, and the school’s national percentile of 47 puts it squarely in the middle of the pack. For parents comparing options, Rosley is clearly above the local norm but not in the same league as the top three schools in Cumberland, which all score 86 or above. It’s a reliable, above-average choice rather than a standout outlier.
