About Cartmel CofE Primary School

Cartmel CofE Primary School is a primary school in Grange-over-Sands, Westmorland and Furness, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 49 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 57% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 27.0 percentage points year on 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 lower half of primary schools nationally.

For September 2026 the school received 0.00 first choices for every Reception place. Overall pupil absence was 5.7%. There are about 12.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
