About Askam Village School
Askam Village School is a primary school in Askam-in-furness, Westmorland and Furness, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. Around 178 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 26% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 26.0 percentage points compared with the previous 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 100 in reading and 98 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Askam Village School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 31 first choices for 29 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.00 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.8%. There are about 29.1 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
