Warcop CofE Primary School
About Warcop CofE Primary School
Warcop CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and confirmed in an ungraded visit in 2022. The most telling academic metric for this small primary in Westmorland and Furness is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 results, 50% of pupils achieved this benchmark, which is below the local authority average of 58%. This places the school 68th out of 99 primary schools in Westmorland and Furness, and in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading is a clear strength, with 90% of pupils meeting the expected standard and an average scaled score of 103. Writing also performs well, with 70% reaching the expected level and 20% achieving the higher standard.
