About Tebay Primary School

Tebay Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent graded inspections. The most telling academic metric for this small Cumbrian primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 57%. That is almost exactly in line with the Westmorland and Furness local authority average of 58%, placing the school in the middle of the pack locally — ranked 50th out of 121 primary schools of the same type. Digging into the individual subjects, the picture is more nuanced: 86% of pupils met the expected standard in both maths and writing, while reading lagged slightly at 71%. At the higher standard, the school is notably selective, with just 7% of pupils achieving greater depth across all three subjects, though reading stands out at 29%. The average scaled scores for reading and maths are both 105, which is solidly above the national baseline of 100.
