About Selside Endowed CofE Primary School

Selside Endowed CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, with the school confirmed to have maintained this standard during an ungraded visit in March 2024. This places it among the majority of primary schools in Westmorland and Furness, where only six out of 121 schools currently hold an Outstanding grade. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Good in the 2019 inspection, while its previous inspection in 2011 had rated overall effectiveness as Outstanding. With just 37 pupils on roll against a capacity of 73, Selside is a very small village school, and its size means that published exam data is limited. However, the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 58 per cent, providing a useful benchmark for parents considering how a school of this scale typically performs against wider county figures.
