About St Martin & St Mary Church of England Primary School

St Martin & St Mary Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with the school judged to have remained at that standard in a subsequent ungraded visit. The inspection breakdown reveals real strengths in leadership and management, which were rated Outstanding, and early years provision also earned an Outstanding grade. On the headline academic metric for primary schools, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 39 per cent in the 2023/24 academic year. That is notably below the Westmorland and Furness local authority average of 58 per cent, placing the school 87th out of 99 primary schools in the area. Nationally, it sits in the bottom half of schools on this measure. The school’s ranking score of 39 reflects this, and it is worth noting that the top-performing local peer, Yarlside Academy, scored 100 on the same metric.
