About Shap Endowed CofE Primary School

Shap Endowed CofE Primary School is a primary school in Penrith, Westmorland and Furness, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 84 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 30% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 12.0 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 lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Shap Endowed CofE Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 9 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.0%. There are about 15.5 pupils per teacher. Shap Endowed CofE Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
