About South Walney Junior School
South Walney Junior School is a primary school in Barrow-in-Furness, Westmorland and Furness, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 191 pupils aged 7 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 66% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 2.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Overall pupil absence was 4.9%. There are about 20.4 pupils per teacher. South Walney Junior 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.
