Schools in Ulverston

About schools in Ulverston

Ulverston lists twelve schools, most of them primary schools. Its one secondary school is where pupils go on to after primary. One school here provides for children with additional needs.

Ofsted inspects every school listed here. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.
