School type

Infant school

Ages 2–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Ellenborough Academy is an infant school for pupils aged 2–7. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

School overview

Ellenborough Academy is a primary school serving Maryport, Cumberland, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 52 pupils aged 2 to 7 on roll.

Ellenborough Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 4 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 3.3%. There are about 10.0 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 46% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Ellenborough Academy 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.
