About Threlkeld CofE Primary School

Threlkeld CofE Primary School is a primary school in Keswick, Westmorland and Furness, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 44 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 33% 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%).

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Threlkeld CofE Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 4 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.8%. There are about 9.3 pupils per teacher. Threlkeld 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.
