About Stainton CofE Primary School

Stainton CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in March 2024 where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this small primary is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, which sits comfortably above the Westmorland and Furness local authority average of 58%. That places the school 39th out of 99 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top half of its local peers. While not among the very highest performers locally, the school is clearly delivering solid, above-average outcomes for its pupils.
