About Ingleton Primary School

Ingleton Primary School is a primary school in Carnforth, North Yorkshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 183 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 56% 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 fallen by 11.0 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 105 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Ingleton Primary School is oversubscribed: about 10 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 31 first choices for 30 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.61 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 3.1%. There are about 22.4 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. Ingleton 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
