Ivegill CE Primary School was awarded a rating of 'Good' after an inspection on July 2 and July 3.

This will be one of the last Ofsted inspections in Cumbria to receive a 'graded' inspection following the news on September 2 that Ofsted will no longer give a single overall grade to an institution.

The report highlighted the school's success in fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere, where pupils feel safe, cared for, and valued.
