Stramongate Primary School
About Stramongate Primary School
Stramongate Primary School in Westmorland and Furness holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2025, with all graded areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — each judged Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 69%. That is comfortably above the local authority average of 58% for primary schools, placing Stramongate 31st out of 121 schools of the same type in Westmorland and Furness. In national terms, the school ranks in the top 34% of all primary schools on this measure. The picture is strongest in maths, where 90% of pupils hit the expected standard and the average scaled score reached 107, while reading and writing expected rates were 77% and 79% respectively. Higher standard attainment is more modest — 8% reached the higher benchmark across all three subjects — but the school’s overall performance is solidly above the local norm.
