About Westmorland Primary School

Westmorland Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Stockport local authority average. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 62%, Westmorland’s figure is 49% — a gap of 13 percentage points. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the borough, ranked 51st out of 67. Its national percentile of 80 means roughly four in five schools across England outperform it on this measure. That said, the school’s individual subject scores tell a more mixed story. In maths, 71% of pupils hit the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 104 is solid. Reading and writing expected rates are 65% and 62% respectively, all within touching distance of national norms. The real drag comes from the proportion reaching the higher standard: just 14% in maths, 17% in reading, and zero in writing. So while most children are getting a decent baseline, fewer than average are stretching beyond it.
