About Wreay Church of England Primary School

Wreay Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding it achieved in 2011. The inspection report rated every category as Good, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The most telling exam metric for this small primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 55 per cent. That figure is almost identical to the Cumberland local authority average of 54 per cent, placing the school squarely in the middle of the pack. In the local authority rankings, it comes 59th out of 111 primary schools, and nationally it falls in the bottom half of all schools. The school’s overall ranking score of 55 reflects this solidly average performance, with no pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects.
