About St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, Workington

St Gregory's Catholic Primary School in Workington sits below the Cumberland average for primary schools on its headline key stage 2 results. In the 2023/24 academic year, 47% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 54%. That places the school 74th out of 111 primary schools in Cumberland, putting it in the bottom half of the LA rankings. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: reading scores are stronger, with 74% of pupils meeting the expected standard and an average scaled score of 105, while maths sits at 58% expected and an average score of 102. Writing matches maths at 58% expected, but no pupils reached the higher standard in writing or in the combined measure. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision and the quality of education all judged Good. That's a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2019, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
