That this House congratulates Sedbergh and Cartmel primary schools on being placed third and sixth in recently released primary school league tables for Cumbria which compare the percentage of pupils achieving level 5 or higher in English and mathematics; notes that this means that 62 per cent of pupils at Sedbergh and 60 per cent of pupils at Cartmel will have achieved, in year 6, the level expected of a 14 year old in secondary school in these crucial disciplines; acknowledges the dedication and commitment of teachers, staff and pupils which has enabled them to achieve this outstanding result and expresses great pride in their excellent contribution to the high standard of primary education in Cumbria as a whole; and calls on Cumbria County Council and other schools in Cumbria to look to the example set by Sedbergh and Cartmel to ensure the highest quality of education for all students in the county.
