About Carswell Community Primary School

On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 21% of primary schools nationally.

There are about 21.1 pupils per teacher. Carswell Community 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.
