School overview

George Romney Junior School is a primary school serving Dalton-in-Furness, Westmorland and Furness, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 68 pupils aged 7 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated George Romney Junior School 'Outstanding'. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 80% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 14.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 26% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 4.6%. There are about 11.0 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
