Every child who put Flimby Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Flimby Primary School

Flimby Primary School is a primary school in Maryport, Cumberland, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 121 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 52% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). Performance is little changed year on 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 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Flimby Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 15 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 15.5 pupils per teacher. Flimby 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.
