About Allonby Primary School

Allonby Primary School is a small state primary in the Cumberland local authority, serving just 18 pupils aged 3 to 11. It sits within a competitive local landscape where the top-performing peers include Jericho Primary School, Irthington Village School, and Shankhill CofE Primary School. Among the 144 primary schools in Cumberland, only five have achieved an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, so Allonby’s Good rating places it in solid company. The school is led by headteacher David Fasham and operates as a mixed, non-religious institution with nursery provision. Its small size — well under its capacity of 56 — means class sizes are tiny, which can be a major draw for families seeking individual attention. The school also offers a Forest School programme, which is a notable feature for outdoor learning in this rural corner of the North West.
